a bruising Vanderbilt big whose best value was rim protection and grit
In his Vanderbilt seasons, Alan Metcalfe stood out as a 6'9", 265-pound interior presence who could block shots, rebound, and give the Commodores physical minutes off the bench or in spot starts. In the 2006-07 season, he averaged 2.6 points and 1.9 rebounds, and Vanderbilt noted he led the team in blocks four times; earlier, injuries interrupted his momentum, including a fractured foot that sidelined him for about six weeks. He looks like the kind of player you want if you need toughness, size, and a low-maintenance role big more than a featured scorer.
