Matt Hein brings size, experience, and defensive grit to Siena’s backcourt
In his Siena stint, **Matt Hein** looked like a steady, low-usage guard who could survive minutes, defend, and make the simple read: he appeared in 18 games with one start and averaged **1.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists** in **15.3 minutes** per game, with a season-high of seven points.[5] Earlier at Illinois State in **2018-19**, he played in **32 games** with **13 starts** and averaged **4.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists**.[7] The fit appeal is his **6-foot-4 frame**, mature transfer experience, and reputation as a defensive standout, but he was not a high-end scorer or shooter, so he profiles more as a glue-piece guard than a focal point.[1][9]
