Texas’ glass-eating, two-way forward with real NBA-era bite
In the 2009-10 season, Damion James was the definition of a high-motor Texas forward, averaging 18.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while leading the Longhorns and ranking among the nation’s top rebounders; earlier in his Texas career, he was a versatile, physical wing who grew from 7.6 points and 7.2 rebounds as a freshman into a relentless double-double threat. What makes him special isn’t just the numbers: he plays with an edge, attacks the glass, defends multiple spots, and brings veteran toughness that fits winning teams. The caution flag is durability/injury history, but the upside is a classic glue-guy star who changes possession battles.
