Gabriela Pato brings size, touch, and freshman upside to San Jose State
Pato is a 6-foot-4 freshman forward for San Jose State who has already shown usable frontcourt production, averaging 4.3 points and 3.2 rebounds across 23 games in 2025-26 while shooting 78% at the line and giving the Spartans length and interior versatility.[1][6] Her appeal is less about flashy volume and more about fit: she’s a developmental post player with good size, a solid free-throw indicator of touch, and enough rebounding/shot-blocking presence to matter in a rotation. If you want a young big who can grow into a reliable role piece, she’s worth a look.[1][3][4]
