glass-eating, rim-protecting engine with pro-level rebounding chops
In the 2023-24 season at Western Illinois, Drew Cisse was the Leathernecks’ board-crashing anchor, averaging 11.0 rebounds per game and 4.3 offensive rebounds per game while earning the 2023-24 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year award.[1][4] At 6-foot-11, he brings real paint presence, elite second-chance impact, and a defensive motor that clearly travels; that kind of rebound rate plus rim protection is roster candy if you need toughness and interior reliability.[1][4] After Western Illinois, he continued into the pro ranks, which supports the read that his game translates through effort, length, and defensive value rather than flashy scoring.[2][7]
