versatile Santa Clara forward with proven shooting touch and early-career impact
Matt Hubbard was a 6-9 forward for Santa Clara who made an immediate impact as a freshman, earning 2014-15 WCC All-Freshman honors after averaging 6.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game. His calling card was versatility: he could score inside and out, and his early games showed legit perimeter pop, including a 15-point outburst with five threes against Gonzaga in 2015. He also battled an ankle sprain in 2015-16, which interrupted a stretch of strong scoring. If you want a stretch forward with skill, size, and some shot-making swagger, Hubbard fit the bill.
