Andy Van Vliet brings size, shot-blocking, and veteran frontcourt production
Van Vliet is a true interior presence who has shown two-way value at William & Mary, with career flashes like 22 points and 8 blocks in one game and season production that included 13.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in 2020. His biggest differentiators are his 7-foot frame, rim protection, and enough face-up skill to stretch defenses, making him more than just a paint body. He also brings experience and leadership, having been named a team captain, which helps explain why he fits best as a steady, high-IQ frontcourt anchor.
