seasoned Privateers forward with a proven college resume
John Ashaolu profiles as a reliable, experienced forward whose game has long been built on size, steadiness, and role acceptance rather than empty-volume scoring. In his college career at New Orleans, Sports-Reference lists him at 6-foot-5/6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, with career averages of 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds across 14 games, while ESPN’s archive shows a brief 2001-02 sample for the Privateers. The bigger differentiator is context: he’s a former Division I player who later became a respected athletics administrator, suggesting high basketball IQ, maturity, and leadership value more than headline stats.
