Matt Hodgson brings veteran 6-11 size and rim protection to Saint Mary’s
Matt Hodgson is a big, physical center whose value comes from length, shot-blocking, and efficient finishing rather than high-usage scoring. In his Saint Mary’s seasons, he averaged 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 2012-13 and 3.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 2013-14, while ranking 11th in the West Coast Conference in blocks at 0.8 per game in 2012-13. The appeal is pretty simple: if you want a hard-nosed interior presence who competes, protects the paint, and doesn’t need the ball to matter, he fits the bill.
