Efficient Duke big man with high-end rebound-and-finish value
In the 2012-13 season, Mason Plumlee was Duke’s go-to interior force, averaging 17.1 points and 9.9 rebounds while shooting 59.9% from the field, with 1.4 blocks per game—elite production built on size, finishing touch, and board-crashing effort[13][14]. He also brought leadership and grit, earning Academic All-America honors and a reputation as a smart, high-motor, low-drama frontcourt anchor who could tilt a game without needing touches called for him[13]. If a team needs toughness, rim finishing, rebounding, and reliable two-way glue, Plumlee is a very fit-in-any-system kind of big[12][14].
