Cameron Lard brings rim protection and high-efficiency finishing
Lard’s calling card at Iowa State was interior defense: in his Iowa State career, he totaled 92 blocks and finished ninth on the program’s all-time blocks list, while also shooting 69.4% from the field and leading the team with 17 dunks. He gave the Cyclones a physical, vertical presence who could erase shots, finish around the rim, and provide energy in spurts; the main caveat was availability and consistency, as his sophomore season included suspension issues that limited him to 24 games. If you need a shot-blocking, athletic four, he fits that role well.[2][4]
