sturdy frontcourt glue guy with pro-level polish
Tom Garlepp’s UCSB profile points to a 6-8 forward who brought size, toughness, and low-drama reliability to the Gauchos rather than headline-grabbing volume. In his 2005-06 college season, he appeared in 26 games and averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game, then later built a long pro career, a strong sign of basketball IQ and role-player trust. He’s the kind of forward coaches like: physical, coachable, and comfortable doing the dirty work.
