Up from 150: Elite role player. Rebounds, defends opposing teams’ tallest players and is a terrific passer. Gets great angles when wrapping around entry feeds. Finds cutters. Finishes with both hands inside. Good in the pick-and-roll. Will net the occasional mid-range shot.

While Houck didn’t make a huge dent in the box score, I saw a lot that I liked from her. Madison really stood out with her attention to detail when it came to passing the ball. She made sure to lunge forward for great angles when feeding the post and made some pretty wrap around interior passes. Houck has the versatility and athleticism to help play both forward positions. She will be a steady option throughout her final two seasons.
