Big, physical Texas forward who filled the stat sheet and the paint
Buckman was a rugged 6-8 forward for Texas who improved from 5.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game in the 2003 season to 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds in the 2004 season, then posted 9.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in 2005-06. He was known for interior toughness, shot-blocking, and reliable rebounding, and one Texas feature highlighted his bounce-back after knee surgery, noting he returned averaging 12 points, 7 boards, and a team-high 16 blocks. If you want a high-motor frontcourt player who brings physicality and grit, he fits the bill.
