Chris Bond gives Ball State efficient frontcourt production with two-way impact
Bond has been a highly efficient, low-mistake forward for Ball State, showing real value as a finisher and rebounder; in the 2023-24 season he averaged 7.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 21.0 minutes while ranking second in the MAC with a 58.9% field-goal rate, and ESPN lists him at 12.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steal per game in a larger 2024-25 role. His selling points are efficiency, activity on the glass, and enough defensive playmaking to matter beyond scoring, which makes him a solid fit for teams needing a dependable, athletic forward who can impact possessions without dominating the ball.
