veteran Samford forward with a tough, efficient paint game
In the 2004-05 season, Jon Mills gave Samford a steady, old-school frontcourt presence: he scored 11 points in a win over Jacksonville State and had 11 more with a team-high five rebounds against another conference opponent, while also showing efficiency at the line and on the floor[1][4]. His calling card was consistency in the paint, physical rebounding, and low-drama reliability; one report noted he played through an eye injury late in the season, which hints at toughness and grit[7]. He fits best as a hard-nosed, complementary frontcourt piece rather than a volume scorer[1][4][7].
