Kevin Bleeker brings veteran size, rebounding, and rim protection
Bleeker was a productive Canisius big man, starting all 33 games in 2015-16 and averaging 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game, with a reliable .755 free-throw mark and enough passing to fit a team concept.[2] His value is in the dirty work: physical interior play, defensive activity, and steady rebounding rather than high-usage scoring.[2][3] He is also a former Netherlands national-team and European club player, which suggests mature experience and a role-player profile rather than a high-ceiling offensive centerpiece.[1][4]
