Matt LaGrone brings old-school efficiency and physicality to Nevada’s front line
In the 2007-08 season, Matt LaGrone averaged 12.3 points and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 73.0% from the field, a telltale sign of a high-efficiency, low-mistake big who finishes what he starts[4]. Nevada also listed him at 6-8 and 215/230 pounds, and reports from that era described him as a multi-sport athlete who ranked third in Nevada in rebounding in high school, which hints at toughness, feel, and effort over flash[14][7]. The caution flag: his production profile suggests a role player rather than a volume creator, and one team note also referenced emotional control after an ejection, so he looks best as a rugged, energy-first fit rather than a centerpiece[15].
