BYU’s versatile, battle-tested forward with scoring pop and board work
Heather Cheesman’s BYU profile shows a forward who can score efficiently, rebound, and stretch the floor, including a freshman-season line of 9.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 2000 and a season-high 16 points against UCLA that same year[10]. In 2000-01, she averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and shot .448 from the field, while also hitting .442 from three, which makes her more than a traditional post—she brings spacing and toughness[1]. She was also a high-end Utah prep star, earning Miss Basketball and Gatorade Player of the Year honors, so the résumé says “winner” before the box score does[8][9].
