Veteran Southern Utah forward who brings toughness, rebounding, and efficient scoring
Jamal Aytes is a proven, physical forward for Southern Utah whose biggest calling cards are strength, rebounding, and efficient interior scoring. In the 2017-18 season, he led the Thunderbirds in rebounding, finished second on the team in scoring, and made a team-high 58% of his shots from the field; he also totaled 405 points and 168 rebounds that season. Coaches praised his experience, versatility, and team-first mentality, calling him a valuable fit for a youthful roster and someone who can “dominate” when healthy. He’s the kind of tough, low-drama frontcourt piece who quietly raises a team’s floor.
