BYU’s smart, tough two-way wing who could stretch a defense and grind on the glass
In his BYU run, Tavernari developed into a reliable, high-minute forward who scored 11.5 points per game, grabbed 5.0 rebounds, and added 1.3 steals while shooting 38.0% from three in the 2009-10 season. He wasn’t just a shooter—he paired size, activity, and defensive anticipation with the kind of competitive edge coaches love, and he earned MWC Sixth Man of the Year in 2010. If you want a wing who plays with energy, spacing, and a little sneaky bite, Tavernari fits the bill.
