UCSB’s do-it-all forward who can take over the glass
Leland King II stood out at UC Santa Barbara as a physical, high-usage forward who could score, rebound, and create extra possessions, including a 25-point, 17-rebound breakout that showed his ceiling as a game-changer[1][5]. In his UCSB season, he averaged 10.5 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 45.9% from the field, a profile that fits a team needing toughness, interior production, and reliable effort on both ends[6]. The differentiator is his intensity and versatility: he’s not just a stat line, he’s the kind of forward who can tilt momentum with effort plays, rebounding, and versatile offense[1][5][6].
