old-school Marquette big man with real rebounding chops
Greg Clausen was a steady, bruising center for Marquette whose value showed up in the 1997-98 through 2000-01 seasons: as a freshman he averaged 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds, and by 1998-99 he was up to 3.4 points and 3.5 boards in 14.1 minutes per game, a classic hard-nosed interior role. He missed time in the 1999-00 season after knee surgery, but still carved out a dependable, physical presence. If you want a low-drama, paint-anchoring big who rebounds, screens, and absorbs contact, Clausen fits the mold.
