Brett Starkey’s Denver Run Was Built on Rebounding, Efficiency, and Frontcourt Toughness
Starkey was a high-impact Denver center whose value came from the gritty stuff: he averaged 11.6 points and 8.5 rebounds for his Denver career, earned SBC Player of the Week honors after a stretch of 9.0 points and 11.5 rebounds with 54% shooting, and finished the 2002-03 season with 311 rebounds, one of the top total-rebound seasons in school history.[1][3][4] He also showed he could spike a game offensively, including a 29-point, 11-rebound outing against North Texas.[2] If you want a physical, board-crashing big who can finish efficiently and anchor a front line, he fits the profile.
