Low-usage, high-effort center who brings board work and steady interior minutes
Safstrom projects as a dependable depth big rather than a stats-heavy centerpiece: in his senior season at Lehigh he played a career-high 29 games with his first five starts, averaging 1.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, while ESPN listed him at 0.7 points and 1.1 rebounds in a later stat snapshot.[2][3] His value is in the little things—screening, physical rebounding, and willingness to do dirty-work possessions like offensive putbacks—making him a fit for a team that needs effort, size, and low-ego interior support more than offensive usage.[7]
