Lou Demuth brings size, efficiency, and rim protection to Chicago State's front line
Demuth’s current Chicago State profile is built on low-usage production: in the 2024-25 season he averaged 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game, while shooting 39.1% from the field.[1][2] His best differentiator remains his defensive interior value—his earlier high-level stretch showed he can protect the rim, including 1.4 blocks per game and 53.3% shooting in the 2019 FIBA U20 Division B event, which points to a true center skill set rather than a stretch big.[4][6] He looks like a fit if you need size, shot-blocking upside, and efficient finishing rather than a high-usage scorer.[4][6]
