physical, efficient forward who brought grown-man rebounding and timely scoring to Iowa State
In the 2023-24 season, Tre King started all 37 games for Iowa State, led the Cyclones in rebounding at 5.3 per game, and added 9.0 points while shooting 51.2% from the field and 81.1% at the line[1][5]. His calling card was rugged interior play: he could finish through contact, punish mismatches, and give Iowa State a reliable frontcourt edge in big games, including 24 points at DePaul and 21 against No. 7 Kansas[1][13]. The biggest differentiator was his consistency and toughness—he battled through an ankle issue, kept starting, and delivered exactly the kind of no-drama, high-effort production coaches love[13].
