Ex-Hoosier Big Man Now NBA Vet with Spurs
Noah Vonleh, the 6'10" Indiana Hoosier alum drafted #9 overall in 2014, is a 30-year-old NBA journeyman now with the Spurs after a trade, posting modest 1.1 PPG and 2.1 RPG in 7.4 MPG across 23 games this season[1]. His differentiators shine in elite rebounding (rated 10/10), size, physicality, motor, and defensive tools from college scouting, blending athleticism with versatility as a face-up scorer and low-post threat[3][4]. Battle-tested with pro grit but limited by role and injury history, he's a reliable depth big for teams needing frontcourt energy—perfect fit for bench rebounding and defense, not stardom.
