10. Kennedy Burke – UCLA
The Bruins lost their top two players this past offseason in Jordin Canada and Monique Billings. Both graduated and are off to the WNBA. That doesn’t mean that UCLA still doesn’t have a talented roster.
Leading the way for the Bruins this season is senior guard Kennedy Burke. Burke has been a starter for the past three years and seems ready to lead her team to yet another NCAAW tournament appearance.
Last season she put up 10.6 points per game, 4.3 rebounds. She can play multiple positions and she figures to take on more of the scoring load than she has in the past. In the Bruins opening night loss to Loyola Marymount, she put up a double with 13 points and 13 rebounds to go along with three blocked shots.
For the Bruins to continue the same regular season success they’ve enjoyed the past few seasons, they’ll need to rely on their senior leader.
