Saint Mary's Rebounding Force with Pro Potential
Desmond Simmons, a 6'7" forward for Saint Mary's Gaels after transferring from Washington in 2014, averaged 4.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game career-wise (ESPN stats), showcasing elite board-crashing with 47 offensive rebounds in his final Husky season (gohuskies.com). His recent pro exploits, like 24 points and 19 rebounds in a Round 18 monster game (YouTube highlights), highlight relentless intensity and defensive versatility—blocks, steals, and physicality that scream NBA fringe talent.
