Courtney Dunn has the rare combination of size and athleticism and uses that to create tremendous match-up problems with her ability to score from beyond the arc as well as with her back to the basket. Standing 6-4, she can drill the three in transition or take it the length of the floor. Courtney sees the floor like a guard and as a high basketball IQ from playing on one of the most well traveled AAU programs on the West Coast (East Bay Xplosion). Dunn is a junior in eligibility, but a senior in school and is expecting to graduate with her class this spring.
