Charleston’s long, physical frontcourt anchor
Adjehi Baru was a high-end recruit who became a steady inside presence for Charleston, combining size, length, and physicality with a blue-collar rebounder’s mentality. In the 2014-15 season, he averaged 7.44 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 0.56 blocks per game, with earlier Charleston seasons showing peak production around 9.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in 2012-13. What makes him matter is the rebounding motor, shot-altering reach, and veteran feel from years in the program; he was also praised early for a 7-foot-5 wingspan and double-double potential, making him a strong fit for teams needing interior grit rather than flashy scoring.
