Ryan Kalkbrenner is one of the most consistent players on Creighton’s roster this season. In the team’s loss to Providence in the Big East Tournament quarterfinal, he played the entire 40 minutes and earned a double-double.
This season, Kalkbrenner has shot 65 percent from the line for 17.1 points per game. He has also contributed 7.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game for the Bluejays.
At 7-foot-1, very few big men in the country can keep up with Kalkbrenner’s size and strength. He is shockingly agile for someone of his stature and navigates the court well.
