the gritty Oakland wing who brought size, rebounding, and low-usage toughness
Chris Palombizio’s Oakland profile is built on role-player value: in the 2017-18 season, he appeared in all 33 games and posted 2.7 points and 1.9 rebounds per game, showing he could stay ready and contribute without needing touches[10]. At 6-6, 212, he offered forward size, physical rebounding, and a willingness to do the dirty work, with Oakland’s roster notes also highlighting his development mindset and team-first fit[10][13]. He’s the kind of player coaches like for depth, defense, and stability more than flash.
