Cedric Fears brings size and experience, but his college impact was modest
Cedric Fears is a 6-9 forward from Houston who brings legitimate size, a Texas background, and a reputation as a rebounder/shot-blocker from his high school days; at Hightower, he averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.4 blocks per game as a senior. In his Texas Southern college stint, the stat line was limited—3.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game in 15 career games—so the appeal is more about frame, motor and depth than proven production. If a team wants a big, physical frontcourt option with local pedigree, he fits; if it needs a ready-made scorer, this isn’t that guy.
