Northern Illinois’ smooth-scoring forward with NBA-caliber efficiency
In the 2001-02 season, Leon Rodgers was a do-it-all senior forward for Northern Illinois, averaging 21.3 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 50.8% from the field and 44.6% from three, with 2.2 assists per game as well. He finished his NIU career as one of the program’s all-time scoring leaders and had a reputation for efficient shot-making, toughness on the glass, and a fearless takeover gear in big moments—like his 31-point outburst against Eastern Illinois. If you want a proven wing/forward who can score inside and out and bring veteran edge, Rodgers is a strong fit.
