Yale’s two-time Ivy POY who powered the Bulldogs with elite two-way forward play
Justin Sears was the engine of Yale’s frontcourt, a 2015 and 2016 Ivy League Player of the Year whose 2015-16 season featured 15.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game, plus the kind of physical, high-motor play that changes games even when the box score doesn’t tell the whole story.[2][11][14] He finished his Yale career with 1,700 points, 818 rebounds, and 200 blocks, making him one of the most complete bigs in program history—and a strong fit if you want a tough, productive forward who defends, rebounds, and brings real interior presence.[2][11]
