a rugged Arizona frontcourt piece who made her mark with rebounding and timely defense
Barnes was a productive Arizona forward who gave the Wildcats reliable interior value, averaging 8.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in her 2013-14 senior season after posting 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in 2012-13. Her calling card was toughness: she showed she could impact winning with rebounding, shot-blocking, and high-energy minutes, including a career-high four blocks against Cal and a 14-rebound, 16-point debut that hinted at her nose for the ball. If you want a dependable, physical forward who brings effort and board work, she fits the mold.
