UNLV's Towering Forward with Solid Bench Production
At 6-11 and 220 pounds, Cheickna Dembele brings legit size and rebounding grit off the UNLV bench, averaging 2.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 44.4% FG in the 2025 season per ESPN—perfect for teams needing a physical forward who battles inside without needing the ball. His Scotland, PA roots and raw athleticism make him a developmental gem with high upside, though limited stats suggest he's still honing his game; ideal fit for programs building depth in the frontcourt.
