Low-usage Akron center still needs a bigger role to matter
In the 2025-26 season, Mary Crews has been a very limited-rotation center for Akron, averaging just 0.7 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 2.5 minutes per game, so her current value is not coming from volume production. The main differentiator is that she is a true interior body who can give a team size and depth in short bursts, but the numbers suggest she has not yet carved out a consistent on-court impact. If you are looking for an immediate frontcourt anchor, she is not that yet; if you want a developmental post with physical upside, she is a deeper-project fit.[1]
