a rugged, low-usage Akron big with hustle appeal
In the 2010-11 season, Denver McLean was a high-effort Akron center who produced modest box-score numbers but flashed useful glue-player traits: 17 games played, 10 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, and 4 steals in limited minutes. That profile suggests activity, versatility, and willingness to do the dirty work rather than play through the offense. ESPN-listed career averages also point to a low-usage frontcourt role, which makes her more of a fit-swing than a headline scorer: useful if you want toughness, rebounding, and defensive energy.
