Former Siena forward with size, rebounding instincts, and perimeter touch
Marcus Hopper was a 6-7 Siena forward who came out of Holy Cross High School with a strong two-way profile, averaging 10.5 points and 8.5 rebounds as a senior while shooting 48.4% from the field and 45.2% from three, which points to a stretch-forward skill set rather than a pure paint player.[4][2] At Siena, he appeared in 27 games across his first two seasons, though his role was limited, and he later announced plans to transfer after not playing in that season, suggesting his college impact was shaped more by fit and opportunity than raw talent.[1]
