Up from No. 103: Physical on the low block. Gets deep position and drop steps for baskets. Drives the ball well from the high post.

VanDyke has some great footwork for a post player. Her ability to move without the ball and her use of her body to score through contact is her bread and butter. A strong post presence that dominates the game inside out. Great court vision allows her to see the floor well from the block and knows how to kick out of the double team to her shooters. Her soft touch around the rim allows her to score easy baskets at the rim. Always posting strong and maintaining her post position.

I came away impressed with VanDyke in my first viewing. Lana has a sturdy frame and understands how to use her body. Lana ran the floor in transition for easy hoops and in the halfcourt, would take her time to post up and backdown defenders. She was a threat to put the ball on the floor from within 10-feet, scoring on short drives with both hands. Lana was an effective rebounder and did a nice job helping clog the lane. VanDyke double-doubled with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 2 blocks. She should be on D-II/D-III radars.
