Maryland’s steady frontcourt presence with a proven Terp pedigree
Crystal Washington is a former Maryland forward-center from Clinton, Maryland, listed at 6-foot-2 and known for frontcourt size, rebounding, and interior toughness during her Terrapins career. In the 2001-02 season, she averaged 6.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 20 games and led Maryland in blocks per game at 0.8, with five games of two blocks or more. Her value is the gritty stuff: post defense, rim protection, and bench energy that doesn’t always scream in a box score. If you want a player who brings defensive resistance and local pride, she fits the bill.
