Alyssa Johnson brings rim protection, rebounding, and steady frontcourt value for UNI
Alyssa Johnson is a useful **post presence** for the Panthers, with past UNI production showing her value as a rebounder and shot-blocker; in the 2015-16 season she played all 32 games, started 25, and averaged 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.[3] That profile matters because players who protect the rim and finish possessions can stabilize a team even when they are not high-volume scorers. The main fit question is role: she looks best as an energy, defense-first forward who can anchor the interior, battle physically, and raise the team’s floor more than its offensive ceiling.[3][6]
