Kirk Van Slyke brings size, rim protection, and efficient scoring to Arkansas State
Kirk Van Slyke profiles as a classic impact forward: in the 2013-14 season, he averaged 14.9 points, led Arkansas State in blocks, and shot 51.8% from the field and 81.6% at the line, a rare combo for a 6-10 frontcourt piece[1][2]. He also showed stretch value by finishing his Arkansas State career at 40.9% from three, which makes him more than just a paint presence[2]. The big differentiator is two-way reliability—he started all 32 games, logged the most minutes on the team, and gave the Red Wolves a steady, physical presence with shot-blocking and scoring efficiency[2].
