gritty former SJSU big man who carved out minutes with rebounding and toughness
Ivo Basor was a 6-foot-8, 240-pound center/forward for San Jose State whose value came from hustle plays, rebounding, and physicality rather than heavy scoring volume. In the 2015-16 season, he appeared in 17 games and averaged 1.6 points in 3.5 minutes, while his earlier Spartan moments included an 11-rebound game against Utah State in 2014 and a nine-point outing at Air Force in 2015[2][3][6]. He was a walk-on who stayed engaged and brought blue-collar energy, but he was never a high-usage offensive piece[1][8].
