Samson Aletan is Yale’s rim-protecting glue guy with real two-way bounce
Aletan has become a steady, high-impact interior piece for Yale, starting all 29 games in 2025-26 and leading the team with 41 blocks while averaging 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 25.9 minutes per game. In 2024-25, he was even more disruptive as a shot-blocker, finishing with 48 blocks and 1.6 per game, plus efficient scoring at 59.1% from the floor. He’s a strong fit if you want a mobile center who protects the rim, finishes cleanly, and brings dependable energy without needing the offense built around him.
