low-usage Jayhawk forward with efficient spot-duty value
In the 2001-02 season, Chris Zerbe gave Kansas quiet, efficient minutes: 1.0 points and 0.9 rebounds per game in 20 appearances, while shooting 37.5% from the field and 66.7% at the line.[1][2] The bigger story is context, not volume—he was a 6-5, 235-pound forward whose value came from being reliable, physical, and ready when called upon, including a strong stretch earlier in his Kansas career where he made 10 of 12 shots in limited action.[4][5] If you want a tough, team-first depth piece rather than a stat-stuffer, Zerbe fits the mold.[4][5]
