Up from No. 104: Lara Turner is coming. She has terrific size, length and athleticism. She’s a jumping jack that elevates out of a crowd to snag rebounds at their highest point. Turner is a combo-forward. She has a soft touch from the mid-range, able to create off the bounce to get to her shot and finishes well around the rim. Turner can take bigger defenders off the dribble and creates mismatches when placed at the 5. She moves well enough to become an Ace of a defender that can guard both on the perimeter and in the paint. All the physical tools are there for Turner to explode over her final two seasons.
