Karlis Garoza brings size, rebounding, and Latvian toughness to Cal Poly
In the 2017-18 season, Karlis Garoza showed the value of a true frontcourt body at 6-foot-9 and 230 pounds, averaging 2.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game while posting a season-high nine rebounds. He also came in with legit national-team pedigree from Latvia, which hints at solid fundamentals and a competitive edge. The big caveat: injuries slowed his development, so his fit depends on health and whether a team needs a physical, low-usage forward who can rebound, defend, and do the dirty work.
