a sturdy, high-motor forward with proven two-way production at CCSU
In his CCSU run, Drakeford was a productive frontcourt piece who brought size, rebounding, and efficient interior scoring, averaging 13.2 points and 6.2 rebounds across 60 starts while shooting 45.2% from the field; in 2014-15, he also posted 13.2 ppg and 7.2 rpg, with league-play bumps to 14.8 and 8.6, respectively. His calling card was consistency: he could score, crash the glass, and give a team a dependable physical presence. He looks like the kind of forward who raises a team’s floor with effort, toughness, and versatility rather than flash.
