veteran glue guy from Saint Mary’s with rebounding grit and low-drama impact
In the 2008-09 season, Ian O’Leary was a steady Saint Mary’s forward who started 23 of 35 games and produced 4.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, with a reputation for toughness, positional defense, and doing the dirty work without needing touches[6][9]. He was a durable four-year contributor, finishing with 127 games played, 81 starts, and 554 career rebounds, which screams reliability more than flash[6][14]. If you need a high-motor, team-first forward who helps win possessions and won’t hijack the offense, he’s your kind of guy[6][15].
