Tennessee's Rim-Protecting Rebounder Turned Pro Journey-Man
Kyle Alexander, a 6'9" forward for the 2017-18 Tennessee Volunteers, stood out as a dominant interior force, ranking 69th nationally in blocks per game (1.73 bpg) and 109th in offensive rebounds (2.59 rpg) while scoring in double digits in 13 games after just 8 combined prior seasons; his first career double-double (13 pts, 11 reb) vs. #18 Purdue showcased explosive athleticism and relentless motor. Post-college, he flashed NBA potential with Miami (1.0 ppg, 1.5 rpg in 2019-20), then dominated EuroCup with 10.6 pts, 7.4 rpg (5th league-wide), and 1.5 bpg (3rd) for Hapoel Tel Aviv/Turk Telekom. A high-energy shot-blocker with rebounding tenacity—perfect for teams needing blue-collar bigs.
