Colgate’s big man brought rim protection and blue-collar production
In the 2012-13 season, John Brandenburg was a dependable interior presence for Colgate, starting all 32 games and averaging 5.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and a team-high 27 blocks. His value went beyond the box score: he gave the Raiders physicality, rebounding, and shot-blocking, with a season-high six blocks against New Hampshire and 13 points in games against Columbia and NJIT. He looks like a fit for teams needing a tough, low-maintenance center who protects the paint and competes every possession.
