Ryan Pierson gives Vermont a steady, low-usage frontcourt minute-eater
Pierson’s value is in reliability more than volume: in the 2024 season he played 10.3 minutes per game for Vermont, shot 44.4% from the field and a strong 86.4% from the line, while contributing 1.8 rebounds and keeping turnovers low at 0.8 per game.[3] He profiles as a physical, role-focused F/C who can help with spacing at the stripe and avoid mistakes, but he is not yet a high-usage scorer or shot-creator.[3][8] For a team needing efficient depth, toughness, and stable bench minutes, he looks like a fit rather than a featured piece.[3]
