Southern Utah’s do-it-all forward with a hard-nosed edge
In the 2001 season, Dan Beus was the kind of forward coaches love: a rugged rebounder, steady scorer, and connective playmaker for Southern Utah. He averaged 11.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in 2000-01, then stepped up to 13.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 2001-02, with strong perimeter touch for a 6'5" forward (38.0% from three that season). He was praised for his hard-nosed style, Newcomer of the Year impact, and ability to fill multiple boxes without flash—exactly the sort of versatile glue guy who makes a roster tougher and smarter.
