veteran LMU center with a strong interior motor and a reliable midrange touch
In the 2006-07 season, Derick Grubb gave Loyola Marymount a sturdy, experienced frontcourt presence: 5.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, with a career-best 75.9% free-throw mark and improved overall scoring efficiency after transferring from Pepperdine.[1][3] At 6-foot-9 and 255 pounds, he brought size, toughness, and a surprisingly usable perimeter wrinkle for a big man, including 16 three-pointers the year before his LMU run.[3][4] He looks like the kind of grown-man center coaches trust for rebounds, physicality, and steady minutes more than headline-grabbing upside.[1][3]
