3. Nfaly Dante. 6' 11", 210 lbs. Senior. N'Faly Dante. . N'Faly Dante. player. 515.
2023-24 stats:
- 16.2 points per game
- 8.8 rebounds per game
- 1.5 assists per game
The one fault of N’Faly Dante’s game is his inability to stay healthy. In his fifth year with the Ducks, Dante has yet to play a complete season without injury yet is still the key to Oregon’s success.
Not only is he an indomitable 6-foot-11, Dante is shooting 70.2 percent from the field and bringing down nearly 9 rebounds per game. His precision in the field makes him one of the most productive players in the league.
Dante’s 16.2 points and 1.5 assists per game are a critical part of the Duck offense. As a senior, he is a leader on and off the court, and head coach Dana Altman cannot speak more highly of his star center.
If Oregon is going to make its Cinderella story run, Dante is going to have to stay healthy and at the top of his game.
