a 6-foot-10 rim presence whose game was built on size, touch, and toughness
In the 2010-11 season, David Gebru was a 6-foot-10 Western Illinois center who flashed real frontcourt value before injuries derailed his year, and reports noted he was lost for the remainder of the season with a knee injury[5][8]. As a freshman in the 2009-10 season, he appeared in 29 games, started 2, and averaged 4.0 points and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 43.1% from the field[12]. His appeal is obvious: size, interior scoring upside, and the ability to give a team a legitimate paint body, but the big swing factor is durability and whether his body can hold up to the grind.
