As a redshirt junior at Wyoming this past go-round, the Illinois native saw action in 23 games off the bench, finishing with averages of 5.0 points and 2.7 boards. He shot 67.6 percent from the field but only 35.9 percent at the charity stripe.
"He's got great physical presence, has excellent finishing ability at the rim, and is an elite offensive rebounder," Will Wade said about Scottie Ebube. "He's shot over 60 percent from the field in all three of his seasons at the college level, and I'm looking forward to having him in an NC State uniform."
