a hard-nosed Lehigh forward with rebounding roots and limited college production
Tyrone Staggers entered Lehigh as a 6-5 forward from Chicago’s St. Ignatius College Prep, where he averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds as a senior and was a top-35 player in Illinois. In his Lehigh career, he was a deep-rotation piece rather than a volume scorer, with career averages of 0.3 points and 0.3 rebounds per game, so the appeal is more about energy, size, and board work than box-score noise. If you want a low-usage, defense-and-rebounding fit with some pedigree, he’s your guy; if you need instant offense, keep shopping.
