Notre Dame’s double-double machine with NBA-size rebounding impact
In the 2015-16 season, Zach Auguste became Notre Dame’s interior engine, averaging 14.0 points and 10.7 rebounds while posting 22 double-doubles in 36 games—elite production for a college big man.[1][3][6] His calling card was efficient finishing around the rim, physical rebounding, and a nonstop motor that translated to an aggressive, high-intensity style; he also showed steady improvement across his Notre Dame career, especially as a junior and senior.[1][6][12] If a team wants a tough, productive frontcourt presence who can change possessions, Auguste fits the bill.
