floor-spacing forward who brought instant offense to the Aztecs
In the 2017-18 season, Max Montana gave San Diego State a valuable stretch-forward look: he averaged 6.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.4 minutes, while shooting 36.3% from three and showing he could heat up quickly as a perimeter threat.[8] His calling card was spacing the floor at 6-9, which made him a tough matchup for slower forwards and a sneaky fit for lineups that needed shooting more than bruising inside play.[8][15] The knock was that he was more specialist than centerpiece, but the upside was clear: instant offense, size, and enough versatility to keep defenses honest.[8][15]
