Cameron Brink

Cameron Brink times her leap perfectly, her lengthy frame reaching skyward to deny another attempt as she continues establishing herself as one of the league's premier defensive anchors. The second-year forward shows no hesitation in her help defense rotation, her rim protection instincts intact as she provides the interior presence that transforms team defensive schemes. Her blocks demonstrate the basketball intelligence and positioning that separate good shot blockers from great ones, as she reads offensive movements and reacts with perfect timing that frustrates opposing attacks. The Stanford product's defensive impact immediately affects how opponents approach the paint, her shot-blocking ability serving as the cornerstone of Los Angeles' improved interior defense. Her presence forces shooters to alter their attempts, creating additional possessions through intimidation and smart positioning that extends beyond recorded statistics. She contributed 11 points, five rebounds, one assist and two blocks.
