Alongside Bazemore, 6'9 Frank Hassell is a phenomenally productive big man, averaging 15.0 points and 9.6 rebounds in only 29 minutes per game. Hassell, exclusively a post player, is a hose on the interior; active, strong, fluid, patient, and athletic. He employs shot fakes and hook shots to finish in the post, has a power game as well as some finesse, will use either hand, and even hits his foul shots. Defensively, he uses the same physical play, athleticism and aggression to record 1.3 blocks per game, an active central part of the Monarch's zone defense. Hassell turns it over quite a lot and is undersized against upper echelon post players, but he simply gets it done.
