Oregon’s low-usage, high-effort forward who brought boards and rim protection
In the 2011-12 season, Tyrone Nared gave Oregon a steady, physical frontcourt presence, averaging 2.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 28 games while ranking third on the team in blocked shots with 17 and fifth in free-throw percentage at .733.[2][14] The appeal isn’t volume scoring; it’s toughness, length (6-foot-8, 220 pounds), rebounding juice, and the kind of dependable, glue-guy defense coaches love when they want energy, size, and someone who won’t blink in the dirty-work minutes.[1][2]
