Reliable senior forward who gave Chattanooga scoring punch off the bench
In the 2015-16 season, Duke Ethridge was a valuable reserve for Chattanooga, playing in 32 games, making one start, and averaging 7.5 points per game while providing immediate offense after returning from an early ankle injury. At 6-6 and 225 pounds, he brought size, experience, and dependable interior scoring, including a 14-point outing against Indiana, which made him a useful matchup piece against stronger fronts. He fits best as a physical, low-drama role player who can stabilize a second unit and bring toughness, but he is not a high-usage star.
