Efficient rim-finisher with shot-blocking punch for UTEP
In the 2017-18 season, Matt Willms gave UTEP a classic center’s value package: 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while leading the Miners in field-goal percentage at .587[1][2]. Across his UTEP career, he ranked third in school history in field-goal percentage (.574) and fourth in blocks (125), which tells you exactly why teams liked him: efficient around the rim, disruptive on defense, and hard to ignore when healthy[1][8]. The catch was durability — his senior year included a broken hand that cost him time, so the main question was always whether his body could keep up with his tools[1].
