Temple's Rebounding Guard Machine from 2017
Tanaya Atkinson, a 6'0" Temple Owls guard, dominated the 2017 American Conference as the offensive rebounding leader at 4.4 per game while averaging 12.0 points and 8.7 total rebounds—elite tenacity for a perimeter player that powered Temple to the No. 2 seed. Her relentless board-crashing and scoring punch set her apart, showcasing pro-level intensity that translated to brief WNBA stints and European dominance (19.6 PPG leader in Spain's LF Endesa 2019-20). Now thriving in EuroLeague Women 2024-25 (7.5 PPG, 4.7 RPG), she's a proven winner with grit ideal for teams needing tough, versatile forwards.
