Colorado’s 6-11 rim protector with a pro-ready nose for blocks
Shane Harris-Tunks was a highly regarded Australian big man prospect, ranked No. 21 among ESPN center recruits in the 2009 class, and he brought Colorado real value as a long, physical F/C who could defend the rim and rebound without needing touches. In his Colorado career, he was repeatedly one of the team’s top shot-blockers and later a dependable reserve, but his development was slowed by a torn ACL that cost him a full season. The appeal: size, defensive instincts, and role-player maturity — a useful fit if a team wants interior length and low-ego toughness over scoring flash.
