Ademide Badmus brings efficient interior scoring and board work to Gardner-Webb
Badmus is a 6-foot-7, 245-pound forward who in the 2024-25 season averaged 3.9 points and 4.3 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game while shooting 58.2% from the field, which tells you the appeal: he plays to contact, finishes efficiently, and gives Gardner-Webb physicality on the glass.[1][4] His best differentiators are his strength, rebound rate, and blue-collar value inside; he was also described as a player who can “work for the tough basket,” making him the kind of low-drama, high-effort frontcourt piece coaches tend to trust.[1][4]
