Steve Determan gives NIU size, rebounding, and a quietly efficient inside presence
Determan has shown he can impact games beyond the box score by flashing a reliable rebounding base and timely scoring, including an 11-point, 10-rebound outing against Sacramento State in 2025-26. Reliable reporting also notes he has produced around 6.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in one season, with a prior season at 3.7 points per game, suggesting a player whose value is tied to steady role play rather than flash. If your team needs a physical frontcourt piece who can do the dirty work and stay composed, he fits.
