Patrick Wessler is giving UNCW a high-efficiency frontcourt anchor
Wessler has emerged as a major interior difference-maker for UNCW, posting 13.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 regular season while shooting 59.9% from the field[1][6]. At 7-foot, he brings size, touch around the rim, and steady rebounding, with added value as a low-mistake big who also chips in blocks and ball security[1][3][13]. His ceiling is not built on perimeter flash; it’s built on reliable paint production and physical presence, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing a true rebounder and efficient finisher[1][11][15].
