a stretch forward with size, shooting touch, and “glue-guy” upside
In the 2009-10 season, Luke Engelken gave Gardner-Webb a versatile frontcourt option, averaging 2.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 13 games while flashing range with multiple three-pointers in road games at Duke and North Carolina[2][10]. At 6-7, 215, his differentiators were clear: he could score inside or out, had an excellent jump shot, and was expected to be in better physical condition for a bigger role[2]. If you want a forward who brings spacing, effort, and matchup flexibility more than raw volume, Engelken fits that mold[2].
