Interior bruiser with efficient finishing and a glass-cleaning edge
In the 2015-16 season, Jake Hammond gave Nebraska a sturdy frontcourt option, averaging 2.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 29 games with eight starts, while showing the kind of physical inside game that translates to rim protection and rebounding.[5][3] Earlier scouting notes also praised his ability to work with his back to the basket, finish above defenders with one step, and impact shots on defense—useful traits if you want a blue-collar big who brings effort, toughness, and interior presence rather than flash.[1]
