Mitchell Saxen is a rugged, high-motor two-way center who impacts winning without needing touches
Saxen is the kind of center coaches trust: efficient around the rim, elite on the glass, and disruptive on defense, with back-to-back WCC Defensive Player of the Year honors and a strong NCAA Tournament run for Saint Mary’s. In the 2024-25 season, he averaged 10.6 points and 7.9 rebounds while shooting 53.3% from the field, showing steady production and real interior value. His differentiator is feel and effort, not flash—he rebounds outside his area, protects the paint, and brings veteran toughness. He looks like a fit for teams needing a dependable, physical anchor inside.[4][10][12]
