high-IQ, bruising forward who brings real winning DNA
In the 2019-20 season for South Carolina, Maik Kotsar averaged 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 49.7% from the field, a strong sign of a versatile frontcourt engine rather than just a box-score guy. Listed at 6-11 and 270 pounds, he gave the Gamecocks size, passing feel and interior toughness, with the kind of physical, unglamorous value coaches love. He’s best for a team that wants a smart, sturdy forward who competes, protects the rim and makes others better.
