low-usage, high-leverage forward who can swing a game with one shot
In the 2014-15 season, Dwight Tarwater gave Cal a veteran forward option with real poise: he played in all 33 games, started 13, and hit the game-winning three against UCLA, showing he could deliver in pressure moments[1][2]. His value wasn’t volume scoring — he averaged 3.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 2014-15 — but versatility, experience, and a steady, team-first fit in a rotation that needed mature decision-making[1]. If you want a dependable glue guy who won’t need touches to matter, Tarwater fits the bill[1][6].
