versatile Vermont wing who brought shooting, rebounding, and glue-guy grit
Kurt Steidl was a high-IQ 6-foot-6 G/F for Vermont whose value went well beyond scoring: in the 2016-17 season, he averaged 7.9 points and 4.3 rebounds and was a steady two-way piece who could stretch the floor[2]. He was a long, versatile forward, an early All-Rookie honoree, and the rare Catamount in program history with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 200 threes[2]. The big caveat: his senior season ended with a left ACL injury in the 2017 NCAA tournament, so the fit question is less about upside and more about whether a team wanted a tough, dependable wing with real résumé juice[4][10].
