veteran LSU big who gave the Tigers efficient minutes and late-season pop
In the 2023-24 season at LSU, Hunter Dean was a steady, physically mature frontcourt piece who shot 69.4% from the field and finished with a strong late-season run, including double-figure scoring in three straight games to close the year. At 6-10, 235, he brings size, experience, rim-finishing, and enough touch to punish mismatches; he also showed he can help on the glass and in short stretches as an energy big. He’s best viewed as a smart, low-drama rotation forward/center who fits teams needing reliable interior minutes rather than high-usage offense.
