Roscoe Smith was UNLV’s glass-eating forward with double-double upside
In the 2013-14 season, Roscoe Smith stood out for UNLV as a high-motor forward who attacked the glass and produced like a banker on overtime—his season line included 11.1 points per game on 53.1% shooting and 66.7% at the line, plus elite rebounding that helped make him the Mountain West’s leading rebounder in his final UNLV season[2][6]. He was also ranked as a top recruit coming out of high school, but his real separator was toughness: a physical, rebound-first presence who could tilt possessions without needing plays called for him[2][3]. If a team needs energy, boards, and a reliable interior competitor, he fits; if it needs a stretch-forward spacer, that was not his game[2][6].
