Lieb Yat is a 7-footer with real finishing touch — and a comeback angle
In the 2024-25 season, Southern Miss center Lieb Yat flashed efficient, low-usage production: he shot 66.7% from the field and 83.3% at the line while averaging 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 points in limited minutes, with his best value coming as a big-bodied paint presence[5][6]. He’s a 7-0, 250-pound interior option whose appeal is obvious: size, touch, and rim protection upside, plus a straight-up “wanted to be part of a winning team” mentality from his Southern Miss bio[1][3]. The catch is durability — he redshirted in 2023-24 due to injury — so the fit question is less about talent than whether he can stay on the floor and scale up from depth piece to true rotation center[1][3].
