Behrens brings length, touch, and sneaky upside for Cal
Christian Behrens was a 6-8, 226-pound forward for California with a legit frame and unusual physical tools, including an 80-inch wingspan and 30-inch vertical, which made him an intriguing fit as a long, mobile frontcourt option[1]. In his 2011-12 freshman season, he played in nine games and produced 10 points, showing efficiency in limited minutes rather than volume, while Cal’s recruiting evaluation described him as a “pencil-thin finesse 4-man,” a clue that his value came more from skill and movement than bruising power[5][11]. He’s the kind of player you’d like if you want size, length, and developmental upside; less so if you need an immediate brawler in the paint[1][11].
