long, experienced CMU forward with a glue-guy reputation
Pantlind was a 6-8 forward for Central Michigan whose value showed up more in steadiness and team role than box-score production: CMU’s own coverage in 2004-05 described him as a fifth-year senior who had been used sparingly but produced when given minutes, and he was also named the team’s unsung player in 2004. His profile suggests a classic low-usage, high-trust frontcourt piece—someone coaches could lean on for maturity, size, and unflashy reliability rather than star-level scoring.
