Saša Ciani brings size, toughness, and veteran front-court depth to Penn State
In the 2025-26 season, Saša Ciani was a 6-10 forward who gave Penn State front-court size and physicality, and coach Mike Rhoades singled out his versatility, leadership, intensity, and toughness. He averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game while shooting 40.4% from the field, so the production was modest, but the toolset fits a role-player with length and some rim-impact potential. The biggest question is consistency and availability: he also dealt with an ankle issue that cost him multiple games, which matters for any team valuing dependable rotation minutes.
