Jeff Adrien (born February 10, 1986) is an American professional basketball player for the Piratas de Quebradillas of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). He played college basketball for the UConn Huskies.

High school career

[edit]

Adrien was born and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts,[1] and is of Haitian descent.[2] Adrien attended Brookline High School in Brookline. He rose to the varsity level as a sophomore on Brookline's state finalist team that year.[3][4] As a senior, Adrien's team again reached the state championship. After his graduation (2004), Adrien attended Brewster AcademyinWolfeboro for a postgraduate year, playing in the Amateur Athletic Union,[5][6] before entering the University of Connecticut on a full scholarship.[7]

College career

[edit]

Adrien played power forward for the University of Connecticut Huskies. In the 2007–2008 NCAA season, Adrien was named to the 2008 First Team All-Big East Conference, leading the team in points (14.8 ppg) and rebounds (9.7 rpg).[8] As team captain in the 2008–2009 NCAA men's basketball season,[9] Adrien averaged 13.7 ppg, and 10 rebounds per game, constituting a rare double-double average. In 2009, The Huskies made it to the Final Four of the 2009 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, before losing to the Michigan State Spartans. Adrien finished his college career with over 1,600 points and 1,100 rebounds.[10]

As for style of play, Adrien said in an interview that he feels the best attributes that he brings to the game are his "leadership, rebounding, toughness, and the ability to score over taller guys". Adrien indeed demonstrated potential as a rebounder over taller players in the NBA pre-draft measurements; despite measuring shorter than average for a power forward for the NBA draft at 6'6.5" with shoes on, Adrien's wingspan measures an outstanding 7'2" and he weighed in at a formidable 236 lbs.[11]
