Travis Niesen still looks like a classic Bronco difference-maker
In the 2005-06 season, Travis Niesen was Santa Clara’s go-to frontcourt scorer, averaging 18.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while finishing among the West Coast Conference’s leaders in both production and toughness; his career line at Santa Clara settled at 11.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, with a solid 46.0% field-goal mark. He profiles as a physical, reliable forward who could punish mismatches inside, draw contact, and carry offensive load when games got tight—exactly the kind of steady, high-intensity fit coaches love.
