Bojanovsky’s 7-3 rim protection made him a Florida State difference-maker
Boris Bojanovsky was a towering, defense-first center for Florida State in the 2015-16 season, finishing his Seminole career with 195 blocks, which ranked third in school history, and he was one of the ACC’s toughest interior deterrents[1][12]. His big differentiator was simple and nasty: elite length, shot-blocking instincts, and enough skill to stay on the floor, while his improved feel and touch made him more than just a tall body[2][6]. If a team needed size, rim protection, and a reliable role big, he fit; if it needed spacing or quick-foot speed, that was the tradeoff[3][7].
