Mantas Kocanas brings size, rebounding touch, and young upside to Cal's frontcourt
Kocanas is a **freshman center** whose value starts with size and rim presence, and his FIBA résumé shows a player who has consistently contributed on the glass, including 4.9 rebounds per game at the U18 EuroBasket and 4.3 at the U20 EuroBasket in 2025.[1][2][3] He is not yet a high-usage scorer, but his profile suggests a developing interior big who can help with rebounding, physicality, and paint defense while he grows into his offense.[1][2][3] If you want a low-drama, long-term frontcourt project with international experience, he is a worthwhile name to track.[1][2][3]
