proven interior finisher with a comeback story and pro-level frame
Tristan Clark’s calling card is efficient frontcourt production and toughness: in the 2019-20 season at Baylor, he was on the Preseason All-Big 12 team and averaged 14.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks before injury shut him down early; at SMU, he brought veteran size, rim protection, and a physical inside presence. He also carries real “why you care” juice — a player who battled back from major injury and kept returning to the court, which usually translates to grit, maturity, and team-first energy. If you need a smart, seasoned, paint-oriented forward who can anchor the glass and finish, he fits.
