Drake's Rebounding Anchor from the Early 2010s Era
Seth VanDeest, Drake Bulldogs' reliable center from 2009-14, averaged 7.9 PPG and 4.6 RPG with a stout 53.1% FG in his career per ESPN stats, peaking as a sophomore in 2010-11 with 8.8 PPG and 4.4 RPG over 29 starts; his strengths shone in double-doubles (like 13 pts/11 reb vs UNI in 2013) and clutch plays, such as game-sealing buckets, making him a gritty, physical presence in the paint for MVC battles—perfect fit for teams needing tough, efficient big-man depth without flash.
