Rim-Protector With Real Two-Way Upside
Niederhauser is a high-impact frontcourt fit because his calling card is **elite shot blocking and efficient interior scoring**: in his 2024-25 Penn State season, he averaged 12.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.31 blocks per game while shooting 61.1% from the field, which led the Big Ten in blocks and ranked 12th nationally. [8] Beyond the box score, he brings length, vertical rim protection and enough touch to finish plays without needing heavy usage, making him a strong schematic fit for teams that want a defensive anchor who can also produce quietly on offense.
