Jay Copeland gives NCCU a steady frontcourt presence with proven starting experience
Copeland has been a reliable piece for North Carolina Central, starting 26 of 27 games in his first season and averaging 7.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, with six double-figure scoring outings. He looks like a fit if you want a physical, experienced forward who can rebound, finish efficiently, and stay within the flow of the offense rather than force the issue. The key question is ceiling, not usefulness: he brings dependable production and toughness, but the public stat trail does not show him as a high-usage or high-volume creator.
