Another day, another roster addition for Kevin Keatts, this time up front. NC State picked up a commitment from 6’10 forward Ben Middlebrooks on Tuesday; he was just on campus for a visit over the weekend.
It’ll be interesting to see how he slots into the rotation this season, as he remains a bit of an unknown quantity following two years of sparse playing time at Clemson. He averaged about 12 minutes per game for the Tigers in 2023, which doesn’t leave a lot to go on.
Middlebrooks didn’t factor heavily into the offense when he was on the court at Clemson, mostly picking up loose change.
