Yaak Yaak brings size, rim protection, and efficient finishing to Oregon State
Yaak Yaak is a 6-foot-11 center whose appeal is clear: he gives you length, interior physicality, and dependable efficiency around the rim, after averaging 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks in 25 games for Oregon State in the 2025-26 season, while previously showing a bigger defensive impact at Colorado Mesa with 50 blocks and 10.6 points per game in 2024-25.[1][15] He looks like a useful fit for a team that needs a playable big who can protect the paint, finish simple chances, and stay composed—his free-throw work and recent stretch of double-digit scoring hint at a steady, team-first role rather than a high-usage centerpiece.[1][5][12]
