Ray Schafer gives Oregon a rare true-center anchor
Schafer’s value is his size and efficiency: Oregon listed him as the program’s only true center, and he played in 23 games with one start while shooting 63.6% from the field, a sign he can finish around the rim and provide a physical interior presence.[1] At 7-foot, he offers a classic backline fit for teams that want rim protection, rebounding, and a low-mistake paint option, though the limited starts suggest he was more of a role player than a featured option.[1][2] If your team needs a big-bodied, traditional center rather than a perimeter-oriented forward, he’s the kind of roster piece that changes matchup math.[1][4]
