Julius Palmer brings size, efficiency, and rim protection to Oakland
In the 2017-18 season, Julius Palmer stood out for Oakland with efficient scoring and solid interior production, averaging 7.6 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 73% from the field; at 6'10", he profiles as a true frontcourt presence who can finish around the rim and help on the glass.[6][2] His value is less about high-usage offense and more about dependable paint play, length, and the ability to give a team a physical, low-mistake big man fit for lineups that need rebounding, interior defense, and efficient touches.[6][7]
