Mike Mackell gives San Diego State a proven, high-usage interior scorer with rebounding punch
Mackell profiles as a rugged center who produced as a junior-college scorer-rebounder, averaging 22.4 points and 10.6 rebounds at Porterville College before joining San Diego State.[5] ESPN lists him at 6-9, 230 pounds, and his earlier SDSU seasons show efficient interior scoring and solid board work, including 14.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 2002-03.[1] For a team, his value is classic paint production: size, physicality, and the ability to finish around the rim; the main question is whether his offense and defensive impact translate against higher-level frontcourt athletes.[1][5]
