veteran USC forward known for rebounding toughness
Nick Curtis was a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward who arrived at USC as a high-school standout and was described by the program as a strong rebounder who would provide frontcourt depth; at Oxnard High in 2001, he averaged 19.9 points, 14.8 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, so his appeal has always been the dirty-work edge—board work, physicality, and reliable interior effort rather than flashy scoring. For a team needing toughness and paint presence, that profile translates well, but his fit depends on whether you want a grinder who impacts possessions more than a high-usage offensive creator.
