efficient, physical Vols forward who punished teams on the glass
In the 2010-11 season at Tennessee, John Fields was a high-efficiency glue guy: he shot 58.7% from the field, averaged 3.0 rebounds in just 11.6 minutes, and led the Vols in blocks with 41, while more than half of his boards came on the offensive glass.[3][9][11] His calling cards were rim protection, second-chance creation, and low-maintenance toughness—exactly the kind of forward who can swing a game without hijacking it. He was a senior transfer with immediate eligibility and brought veteran polish, but the career context here is old-school: Fields is a former Tennessee player, not a current rostered Vol.[3][13]
