Rakeem Buckles is a classic glass-eater for FIU
In his FIU years, Rakeem Buckles stood out as a physical, high-motor forward who controlled the glass and finished efficiently, with career college averages of 7.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game and a strong 46.5% field-goal rate. He was a proven rebounder in the 2013-14 season, ranking among FIU’s top bigs and giving the Panthers a dependable low-post presence. If your team needs toughness, rebounding, and an interior work rate that shows up every night, Buckles fits the bill; if you need spacing or a modern stretch-four profile, he’s less of that guy.
