Sam Lecholat is a rugged, high-motor forward who earns minutes with defense and boards
Lecholat’s value is built on effort, versatility, and interior impact: at Montana State in 2024-25 he produced 5.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game, then finished strong in conference play with a 13-point, 11-rebound, 2-block Big Sky Tournament semifinal. Earlier at the prep level, he was a high-level rebounder and two-way forward, suggesting a player who fits lineups needing toughness, screen-setting, rim protection, and low-maintenance production rather than isolation scoring. He looks like a solid fit for teams that prize energy and physicality.
