Ruot Bijiek is Bucknell’s versatile, high-minute senior forward
Bijiek is a **reliable two-way forward** whose role has grown into a real focal point for Bucknell: in the 2025-26 season he has been producing **11.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals in 28.8 minutes per game**, and he recently posted a **career-high 20 points and 10 rebounds** in a comeback win over Lehigh.[7][16] His value goes beyond box-score scoring—he brings length, shot-blocking, and enough perimeter skill to stretch defenses, but his current shooting efficiency is a concern, so he fits best as a steady, high-usage complementary piece rather than a volume scorer.[1][9][11]
