a veteran forward with a coach’s brain and a shooter’s touch
In the 2001 season, Grant Leep was the calm, glue-guy forward for Washington, described by coach Bob Bender as the team’s “rock” and captain because of his steady demeanor and leadership. He brought reliable frontcourt size, poise in big moments, and a proven perimeter stroke—he remains Washington’s career leader in both single-season and career three-point percentage. If you want a forward who adds toughness, leadership, and floor-spacing more than flash, Leep is the kind of player coaches trust when the game gets messy.
