Paint-Anchor Big with Elite Rebounding and Efficient Finishing
In the 2021-22 season, Josh Carlton was a highly efficient frontcourt piece for Houston, averaging 11.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting .626 from the field; he also led the Cougars and ranked fifth in the American Athletic Conference in rebounding, with 3.3 offensive boards per game, and finished 20th in the league in scoring. He’s the kind of big who quietly tilts games with physicality, rim protection, and second-chance work—less flashy than a highlight reel, more valuable in the possession battle. If your team needs a tough, productive interior presence, he fits.
