Rebounding-minded forward who brought physicality and production
David Sturner’s Oregon State tie-in looks historical rather than current, but his college profile was built on toughness, rebounding, and efficient scoring—he later earned Cascade Conference newcomer of the year and NAIA honorable mention All-American honors, while averaging 9.3 rebounds and 13.7 points in the 2012-13 season. He also showed instant impact at Southern Oregon, including a 21-point, 9-rebound game on 9-of-13 shooting in the 2012 season. If you want a forward who can bang inside, clean the glass, and supply steady interior production, he fit that mold; if you want a modern stretch-forward profile, that was not his calling card.
