Nura Zanna brings Houston a veteran, physical frontcourt presence
Zanna profiles as a sturdy, interior-minded forward who gave Houston a reliable two-way bench-to-starting-lineup option, with 2017-18 production of 8.5 points and a team-best 6.3 rebounds per game in 23.3 minutes at LIU before joining the Cougars, and later 6.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 54.3% shooting listed by ESPN. [5][6] What makes him interesting is the combination of size (6-foot-7, 240 pounds), rebounding feel, and efficient finishing, which suggests a dependable, low-drama fit for a team needing toughness and positional physicality more than flashy shot-creation.
