Douglas Elks brings veteran size, role-player grit to Western Carolina
In the 2020-21 season, Douglas Elks gave Western Carolina a sturdy 6-foot-4, 189-pound guard/forward option who played in seven games off the bench and fit as a low-usage, defense-and-energy piece rather than a volume scorer.[1] His earlier 2019-20 season showed the same profile: 17 games, one start, 1.1 points and 0.8 rebounds per game, with a season-best five points against Samford and a career-high three rebounds at Wofford.[1][2] He looks like the kind of team-first, versatile wing who can survive multiple spots, but his value is tied more to effort, experience, and toughness than box-score pop.[1][2]
