Versatile Penn wing who brought size, feel, and a defensive edge
In the 2011-12 season, Marin Kukoc gave Penn a 6-foot-7 guard/forward with useful length, some perimeter touch, and line-to-line versatility, averaging 2.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 10.0 minutes per game while appearing in all 33 games. ESPN and Penn’s own roster notes show he was a rotation piece rather than a featured scorer, but his value was in his multi-positional frame and willingness to defend; early coverage also described him as a defensive specialist with European pedigree. The biggest caveat: back issues limited his availability earlier in college, so durability was part of the scouting conversation.
