Physical, reliable frontcourt scorer with proven Sun Belt production
In his final Southern Miss season in 2022-23, DeAndre Pinckney averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game and earned Third Team All-Sun Belt honors, a strong sign he was more than just a rotation big.[4][12] At 6-foot-8, he brought a sturdy, physical forward profile with efficient scoring touch, board work, and enough perimeter feel to keep defenses honest.[1][4] He also helped power a 25-8 Southern Miss team, which adds winning context to the stat line.[5] If a roster needs a dependable, mature frontcourt piece who can rebound, score inside, and compete hard, Pinckney checked that box nicely.[1][4]
