6-foot-8 UMass Lowell forward Klimentina Modeva brings size, rebounding, and rim protection
Modeva is an intriguing frontcourt piece for UMass Lowell because her 6-foot-8 frame gives the River Hawks rare size, and her recent games show real paint impact: a first career double-double with 13 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks, plus a 11-rebound, four-block outing earlier in the 2025-26 season. Her FIBA background also hints at international experience and a high-level development track. She looks like a fit for a team that wants length, defensive deterrence, and rebound production, with offense that is still more functional than featured.
