Reliable Kent State forward with a physical, rebounding-first game
Chris Ortiz projects as a **gritty, experienced forward** who brings size, toughness, and steady rebounding more than headline-grabbing scoring; at Kent State, he averaged **6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds** in his junior season while starting 22 of 35 games, and ESPN later listed him at **5.2 points and 4.0 rebounds** per game in his college profile. His differentiator is his blue-collar, team-first style: a 6-8, 225-pound wing/forward with pro experience, a dependable motor, and enough versatility to help a roster that needs physicality and bench stability rather than a high-usage scorer.
