Oakland’s old-school paint bully who piled up points and boards
In the 2004-05 season, Cortney Scott was Oakland’s most dependable interior force, averaging 18.2 points and 7.3 rebounds while earning All-Mid-Con recognition and helping the Golden Grizzlies reach the NCAA Tournament. At 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds, he brought a bruising, efficient inside game, pairing a career-best scoring season with the kind of rebounding toughness that coaches love in a frontcourt anchor. The big takeaway: Scott was the steady, physical, high-output forward who could tilt a game with effort, positioning, and production—very much the kind of player you want if you need grit plus reliable scoring in the paint.
