Rim-Protecting George Mason Big with Proven Rebounding Impact
Copes stood out at George Mason as a physical 6'8" frontcourt presence who brought real value as a rebounder and shot blocker, averaging 4.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game in his college profile, with his best season showing he could anchor the paint and change shots at a high level. He was ranked among the nation’s better incoming center prospects, and his game profile suggests a low-ego, defensive-first big who can help a team by cleaning the glass, protecting the rim, and doing the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in scoring lines.
