a sturdy interior presence with proven board work
In Troy’s latest roster profile, John Walton III is a forward whose calling card is rebounding and physicality: he started all 29 games in his junior season, averaged 8.4 points and 5.7 rebounds, and ranked 13th in the Sun Belt in rebounds per game, with 3 double-doubles and a career-high 21 points. He looks like the kind of glue guy who can tilt effort possessions, defend the paint, and punish mistakes around the rim. If your team wants toughness and dependable frontcourt production, he fits the bill.
