Dezmon Briscoe brings rim protection and efficient frontcourt production to Kent State
Briscoe is a low-usage, high-impact **frontcourt defender** whose biggest calling card is **shot-blocking**, with 21 blocks in 30 games for Kent State in the 2024-25 season and a strong track record of rebounding and finishing efficiently around the rim.[2][4] His high-school profile showed he could dominate games as a disruptive interior presence—highlighted by 5.1 blocks per game as a senior—while also showing toughness by returning from a high ankle sprain and regaining form late in the season.[14][17] If you need a physical, defense-first big who changes shots and plays with edge, he’s a fit; if you need a stretch scorer, he’s not that guy yet.[2][4]
