Will Shaver gives Samford a low-usage, efficient interior option
Shaver is a depth big who brings efficient finishing, solid rebounding, and usable rim protection for Samford, with 2025-26 numbers showing 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.5 blocks, and 75.0% shooting in limited minutes.[4][6] His profile suggests a simple, role-friendly fit: he does not need touches to stay effective, and past production across UAB/Samford shows modest offense but some defensive value and board work.[5][7][8] The main caution is that he has been more of a rotation piece than a featured center, so his best value is as a reliable, physical connector rather than a focal point.[1][2][12]
