Andrew Drone gives Rice a big, efficient frontcourt body with real shot-blocking value
In the 2025-26 season, the 6-10 senior center brings old-school size, efficient finishing, and reliable rim protection to Rice, with a career 58.6% field-goal mark, 360 rebounds, and 52 blocks through 94 games. His calling card is consistency: he’s sturdy, experienced, and rarely wastes possessions, which makes him a useful fit for teams that want a physical anchor rather than a high-usage scorer. The upside question is not flash—it’s whether you need a dependable paint presence who does the dirty work and keeps the floor stable.
