Carvacho, after averaging 9.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a sophomore, is primed for a big season in the first year of Niko Medved era in Fort Collins. The 6-10 big man has compiled 13 double-doubles over his first two seasons with the Rams. Carvacho has also started in 65 of 68 possible games while ranking in the top 35 of both offensive and defensive rebounding percentage.
Carvacho is a sneaky pick to appear on the all-Mountain West first team in the spring. His elite rebounding abilities and developing offensive skill set make Carvacho one of the top big men out west.
