Nate Kratch was a high-efficiency, stretch forward for Santa Clara
In his Santa Clara seasons, Nate Kratch stood out as a rugged frontcourt player who combined rebounding, shooting touch, and heavy minutes; in 2016-17 he averaged 10.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 34.0 minutes, and hit 42% from three, while earlier reports noted he led the Broncos in rebounding and field-goal percentage and was praised for his confidence and fit within the offense. [1][7][8] He also brought veteran reliability and strong intangibles, earning academic and community-service recognition, which makes him a good fit for teams needing a mature, hard-playing forward who can space the floor and do the dirty work.
