UAB's Efficient Rebounding Forward from 2017-18 Glory Days
Chris Cokley, a gritty 6'8" forward for the UAB Blazers, averaged 12.4 points and 6.4 rebounds on a scorching 57.2% FG in the 2017-18 season while starting 17 games; his high school pedigree shines with 3.3 blocks per game (top 224 nationally), marking him as a rim-protecting beast with explosive dunks like his Iowa State highlight. Reliable sources praise his motor and efficiency, making him a plug-and-play big for teams needing blue-collar intensity and second-chance opportunities—no major injury flags, just pure hustle that translates anywhere.
