Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I looked up the box score of the Murray State v. Tennessee game, which was played just after Christmas.  Evelyn played 37 minutes to get her 28 points.  Impressively, she was 10-for-19 on field goals and 7-for-7 from the free throw line.  (Just getting to the line enough to get seven free throw attempts on Tennessee's home court is impressive in itself.)  She made 1 of 3 attempts from 3-point land.

However, in those 37 minutes, she got only 5 rebounds, of which only one was on the offensive boards.  Another Murray State player had 8 rebounds, and another teammate also had 5.  Overall, Murray State was outrebounded 56-24 and gave up 25 offensive rebounds.

That suggests to me that she may be more of a "finesse" player who has some midrange scoring talent, but is not a powerful presence in the paint.

If Batouly can play serious minutes next year, it seems to me that her style of play is much more in line with what the team will need.
