young UTEP frontcourt piece with efficient touch in limited minutes
Romine is a developmental **UTEP** frontcourt option whose freshman production was modest but efficient: he appeared in 14 games, scored 12 points, grabbed five rebounds, and shot 50% from the field in 50 total minutes. That kind of small-sample line suggests a low-usage, finish-around-the-rim role rather than a featured scorer, so the fit question is less about volume and more about upside, size, and whether he can grow into dependable interior minutes. He looks like a patience-required project with some proven touch and a straightforward path to value if his physical development keeps trending up.
