Iona’s rangy, defense-first frontcourt weapon
In the 2025-26 season, Deondrea Lindsey is a freshman forward for Iona whose calling card is easy to spot: he’s a 6-foot-8, 212-pound, multi-positional defender with length, strength, and real motor. Iona’s own profile says he can guard all five spots, thrive in ball-screen coverage and pressure schemes, and finish possessions with rebounds and shot disruption—plus he brings some offense as a lob threat and rim runner. He also arrived with high-major interest and a reputation as a vocal leader, so he looks like the kind of tough, high-activity piece winning teams love.
