Physical 6'7" Forward with High-Energy Flair and Career-Best 18-Point Burst
Anthony Finkley, a 6'7", 230–240 lb forward from Philadelphia, is Saint Joseph's most consistent energy player who brings elite physicality and a fearless shot-creation mindset despite modest 2025–26 averages of 5.4 PPG and 3.3 RPG on 28.8% FG [1][2][5]. His differentiator is intensity: he logged 38 minutes and scored 12 points in a postseason win while dropping a career-high 18 points with 5 rebounds and 3 threes in March 2025, proving he can explode when trusted [2][7][9]. Teammates and fans call him the Hawks' most consistent player, noting his willingness to take tough shots and defend multiple positions [9]. While his shooting efficiency needs improvement, his size, rebounding (3.3 RPG), and ability to score in bursts make him a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, versatile forward who elevates with intensity [1][2]. He has no reported injury history, and his Philadelphia roots add a local, battle-tested mentality [2][6].
