FDU’s top “big man” Ansley Almonor stands at 6-foot-6, 219 pounds. His task is guarding Zach Edey, Purdue’s 7-4, 305-pound center.
Almonor is tiny FDU’s top “big man’’ at 6-foot-6, 219 pounds.
That task is guarding Edey, Purdue’s 7-4, 305-pound center, who averages 22.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game and looks like a Godzilla towering over opponents on the basketball court. Fairleigh Dickinson’s Ansley Almonor celebrates after hitting a 3-point shot against Texas Southern during the First Four of the 2023 NCAA men’s basketball tournament.Almonor said he’s watched Edey play and “you can see on TV he’s looking over double-teams with 6-8, 6-9 guys on him. He’s probably going to be looking over me, too, but we’ve got to figure out a way to slow him down.’’
Almonor was 5 of 8 from 3-point range, showing the kind of shooting threat that will lure Edey outside of his comfort zone as a rim protector underneath the basket.
