veteran rebounder and paint enforcer for UNC
Claude is a seasoned, low-usage frontcourt piece whose value comes from **rebounding, physicality, and interior efficiency** rather than high-volume scoring; in the 2024-25 season at North Carolina, he averaged 1.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 20 games, but his track record is stronger, including 15.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game at Western Carolina in 2022-23 and elite offensive-rebounding production at Georgia Tech in 2023-24. He fits best as a **role player** who can change possessions, bring energy, and survive in a rotation that needs toughness and second-chance creation.
