Connor Niego’s value: a bruising, multi-skilled forward who did the little things for Holy Cross
In the 2019-20 season, Connor Niego averaged 8.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 31 games for Holy Cross, starting 28 times and logging nearly 30 minutes a night—a sign he was trusted in real rotation minutes, not just cameo duty. He stood out for offensive rebounding, versatility, and willingness to do the ugly work; he led the team in rebounds eight times and even chipped in across steals, blocks, scoring, and assists. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a physical, experienced forward who competes, rebounds, and stays connected, Niego is the kind of glue guy coaches love.
