Furman Paladins' Rebounding Machine Turned Icelandic Champ
Kris Acox, a 6'6" forward for the Furman Paladins graduating in 2017, was a gritty double-double threat known for his relentless rebounding (peaking at 11.3 rpg in Iceland's top league) and championship pedigree, winning four Icelandic titles with KR and Valur from 2017-2025 plus two Cups. His physicality, versatility as a PF, and international experience—highlighted by EuroBasket 2017 and PBA Best Player honors—make him a battle-tested pro prospect; ideal for teams needing tough, high-motor forwards who elevate winning culture without ego.
