In the 2016-17 season, Sean O’Brien was Southern Illinois’ most complete frontcourt presence, averaging 11.8 points, a team-high 8.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while earning second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors. He finished his SIU career ranked among the program’s all-time leaders in scoring, rebounding, blocks, assists, and games started, which screams versatility and durability. The selling points: physical rebounding, steady production, and a high basketball IQ.
