Temple center Shannen Atkinson brings size, rebounding, and gritty interior presence
Shannen Atkinson, Temple’s 6-foot-4 center, has been a dependable low-post presence for the Owls, with Temple listing her as a former starter who produced a career-high seven rebounds in a game and a career-high four points early in her run. Her value is less about flashy scoring and more about size, physicality, and willingness to do the dirty work inside. If a team needs a tough, paint-oriented big who can battle, defend the rim area, and stay connected to the program’s rotation, she fits the blue-collar bill.
