Sam Spann still profiles as a rugged, two-way Fairfield forward
In the 2001-02 season, Sam Spann was a productive Fairfield Stags forward who averaged 12.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 29 games, while shooting 50.2% from the field; that’s the kind of stat line that says “do a little of everything” without needing the brochure. His differentiators were toughness, playmaking for a frontcourt player, and defensive disruption, though the low 3-point mark (13.6%) suggests his value came more from interior impact than stretch shooting.
