Christina Buttenham was a steady, glue-piece forward for Iowa
Buttenham’s Iowa profile was built on toughness, efficiency, and quiet versatility: in the 2016-17 season, she played 26 games with 4 starts and averaged 3.3 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 39.2% from the field and 35.1% from three. She wasn’t a volume scorer, but she could stretch the floor, rebound her area, and fit cleanly into a winning structure. A concussion-related medical issue ultimately ended her Hawkeye career, so her story is also one of resilience and what-might-have-been.
