Franck Kepnang brings elite rim protection and veteran muscle to Washington’s front line
In the 2025-26 season, Franck Kepnang started 25 of 27 games for Washington and averaged 6.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks, ranking third in the Big Ten in total blocks with 55 and blocks per game at 2.07. He’s a 6-foot-11 interior anchor with real shot-blocking instincts, physicality and veteran savvy, but his calling card is toughness: he fought through a leg injury that cost him multiple games and limited practice time late in the season. If you need a defensive tone-setter who protects the paint and battles, he’s your guy.
