Lane will be a valuable frontcourt defender for Lewis-Palmer, active on the help side to mitigate incoming drivers. The forward is consistent keeping wide arms up to create slim shot angles, effective at staying down on the shot or pump fake. This group’s leading rebounder (8) and shot blocker (1.1) per game, Lane has notable value protecting the rim. They are a consistent rebounder on the defensive side, seeking box outs once the shot goes up.
Bunck has shown versatility both as a shotmaker and facilitator. Already impactful as a scorer around the rim, either through contests or contact. Possessing consistent footwork versus pressure, the forward does well maximizing her pivot foot to create space. Active hitting cutters while surveying the floor from the elbow or wing, the forward uses her height for accurate overhead passes. Bunck has picked up plenty of collegiate intrigue, garnering offers from a pair of NAIA programs in Antelope Valley, Judson, alongside division III Cornell College, and junior college Colorado Northwestern. A willing three point shooter throughout last season at Liberty and throughout the summer with PLUTO, Bunck’s efficiency behind the arc will be an area worth tracking.

West was an impactful two-way rebounder last season, utilizing her height advantage to maximize her interior position. Equally effective defending the paint, the forward is consistent keeping both arms up to contest shot attempts at the basket. Through her previous season with 17-8 Pueblo West, the frontcourt prospect grabbed 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. Martin provides stability on the interior, mitigating plenty of drives and second chance opportunities. Her continued progression as an interior scorer will be worth tracking, particularly off of pivot moves and putbacks.
Bruner has shown intrigue on both ends of the floor, a proactive passer and rebounder down low. The 2024 forward is especially valuable passing the ball, keeping the flow moving through quick decisions to open teammates. Defensively, the forward is active seeking box outs, digging in to secure position on the glass. Through her previous season with Coronado, Bruner posted 10.9 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. Her activity defending the paint on closeouts and rotations will be imperative for Coronado’s defense. Either way, a very intriguing forward worth keeping tabs on after an impressive previous season.
