Two-way force, rim protector, and proven winner for Eastern Washington
In the 2015-16 season, Venky Jois was the kind of forward coaches love: efficient, physical, and relentlessly productive, finishing his Eastern Washington career with 1,803 points, 1,015 rebounds, 240 blocks, and 26 double-doubles, while averaging 14.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game across 90 games listed in the program notes. He stands out for elite shot-blocking, strong rebounding, and rare all-around consistency; even while dealing with an ankle sprain earlier in his career, he still earned first-team All-Big Sky recognition and played with the kind of toughness that pops on film. A low-drama, high-impact frontcourt piece with real two-way value.
