a physical, high-minutes forward who brought proven scoring and rebounding to DePaul
In the 2022-23 season at DePaul, Eral Penn averaged 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game, giving the Blue Demons a sturdy, experienced frontcourt presence with strong rebounding instincts and a reliable work rate.[7][8] He arrived after averaging 17.1 points and 7.4 rebounds at LIU, which signals a player who can carry real offensive responsibility when featured.[6][13] Penn’s fit is best for a team that values toughness, size, and production over flash; his modest perimeter shooting has been the main limitation, but his interior activity and veteran edge make him an easy guy to trust.[7][8]
