WSU's Deep-Bench Forward from a Decade Ago
Patrick Simon, a 6-8 forward for Washington State Cougars around 2010-2012, posted modest career averages of 2.9 PPG, 1.3 RPG, and 37.9% FG across his college tenure, shining occasionally with an 8-point outburst on 2-of-5 from three vs. Grambling State. A physical 240-lb presence from Ephrata, WA, he later transferred to UBC Thunderbirds (2015-18) before going pro overseas—think Toyoda Gosei Scorpions in Japan. Not a stat-stuffer, but his size, hustle, and spot-up shooting make him a reliable role player; low-risk depth for teams needing frontcourt grit without star expectations.
