Veteran Boise State forward with size, toughness, and a glue-guy résumé
In the 2014-15 season, Jake Ness was a 6-8, 225-pound senior forward for Boise State who gave the Broncos reliable bench minutes, played physical defense, and brought hustle plays like drawing charges, blocking shots, and cleaning the glass. His value wasn’t flashy scoring; it was steadiness, basketball IQ, and doing the dirty work that helps winning teams breathe easier. He also had a strong academic track record and postseason experience, having been part of Boise State’s NCAA Tournament teams in 2013 and 2015, which makes him the kind of mature, low-maintenance frontcourt piece coaches love.
