old-school UNC Asheville big who anchored the paint
Ben McGonagil was a physically imposing 6-11 center for UNC Asheville, known for interior scoring, rebounding, and getting to the line, including double-double type production in the 2002 season. He brought a classic back-to-the-basket game and a steady, physical presence that helped the Bulldogs in tight Big South moments, with multiple reports highlighting his rebounding and late-game free throws. If you need a rugged paint protector and high-motor post presence, he fit the bill; if you want modern stretch-big spacing, not so much.
