Skilled Stretch Big Who Helped UCF With Efficient Board Work
In the 2007-08 season, Will Bakanowsky returned to UCF after earning an additional year of eligibility, bringing a useful blend of size and perimeter touch at center. As a junior, he started 26 games and averaged 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 40.3% from three, which is rare value for a big man and hints at a floor-spacing fit. The key draw is versatility: he can rebound, stretch defenses, and give a coach lineup flexibility rather than just playing as a traditional paint-only center.
