veteran Santa Clara forward who brings rebounding, toughness, and glue-guy value
In the 2001-02 season, Jason Westphal was a 6'7", 220-pound senior forward for Santa Clara who gave the Broncos interior size, board work, and physical defense—he grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots in the opener, and he later showed the durability concerns that can come with a bruising role after missing time with a shoulder sprain. He wasn’t a high-volume scorer, but his profile fits a team that wants a gritty, low-ego forward who does dirty work, competes hard, and helps stabilize the frontcourt.
