Old-school Jackrabbit forward with efficient finishing and blue-collar value
Marcus Heemstra’s documented production is from the 2012-13 South Dakota State era, where he was a 6-foot-9 junior forward who shot 52.7% from the field and gave the Jackrabbits size, rebounding, and reliable interior scoring. Heemstra fits the profile of a steady, low-drama frontcourt piece: efficient around the rim, physical enough to help on the glass, and valuable in a system that rewards toughness and role acceptance. If you want a rugged, team-first forward who won’t need the offense built around him, he’s your kind of guy.
