John Olmsted turned a quiet role into a March weapon for Montana State
Olmsted is a 6-foot-10 graduate forward whose game grew sharply in the 2023-24 season, when Montana State leaned into his rim-running, efficient finishing, and late-season poise. He was praised for becoming a true difference-maker down the stretch, including a career-high 16 points in the 2024 Big Sky title game and strong bench minutes in the NCAA Tournament. His fit is compelling if a team wants size, energy, and a low-ego connector who plays with edge; he’s not a flashy volume scorer, but he brings winning, timing, and real room-service value around the rim.
