Ben Defty is a 7-foot paint monster who turned Boston U. into a tougher frontcourt problem
In the 2025-26 season, Ben Defty has emerged as a high-impact sophomore for Boston University, starting every game and producing 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.7 blocks while shooting an eye-popping 69.4% from the field[2][3]. His differentiator is obvious but rare: elite size with efficient finishing, rim protection, and steady two-way value, plus praise from BU for helping drive a program-record 49.5% team field-goal mark and a Patriot League All-Defensive nod[4]. If you need a mobile interior anchor who scores without demanding touches, he’s a very solid fit—provided you want your big to live in the lane and make opponents miserable.
