Blankson’s a glass-eater with a scorer’s touch for UNLV
Odartey Blankson’s calling card is frontcourt production: in the 2004-05 season he averaged 17.5 points and 8.1 rebounds for UNLV while shooting 47.0% from the field and 82.0% at the line, the kind of efficient, high-motor profile coaches love[1][6][15]. He wasn’t just piling up numbers either—his UNLV career included 30 double-doubles, 56 double-figure scoring games in 62 appearances, and a knack for doing the dirty work on the glass, which made him a reliable fit for teams needing toughness, consistency, and a dependable inside-out presence[1][6].
