Stony Brook’s versatile 6-5 wing who brought size, shot-making, and rebound juice
In the 2001 season, Mike Orfini quickly emerged as a useful guard-forward for Stony Brook, earning America East Rookie of the Week after averaging 13 points and 6 rebounds across two games and flashing scoring pop with 16 points against Villanova. He was a multi-level contributor at Gonzaga High, where he averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds, and his profile suggests a sturdy, competitive wing who can score, rebound, and fit in a physical system. If you want a playable, versatile 6-5 connector with toughness and a bit of offensive punch, he’s the kind of guy coaches tend to trust.
