Efficient, physical frontcourt glue for UC Irvine
Dean Keeler is the kind of frontcourt piece coaches love: efficient around the rim, active on the glass, and comfortable doing the dirty work that wins possession battles. In the 2023-24 season, he averaged 5.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 34 games, shooting 53.2% from the field[10]. Across his UC Irvine career, his profile has been built on high-percentage scoring, rebounding, and steady defensive presence rather than volume shot-making[1][8][10]. If you want a reliable, low-drama big who plays with purpose and toughness, Keeler fits the bill.
