Just before the tipoff of the 2021-22 season, Hoops Prospects talked with Nate Laszewski, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound senior forward from Notre Dame. As a junior, Nate had a breakout season, averaging 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and posting excellent shooting splits: 59 percent from the floor, 43 percent from deep, and 71 percent from the foul line. He also led the ACC with a true shooting percentage of 69.1. In the interview (below), Nate discusses the outlook for the Fighting Irish this season, his development as a player, living aboard, and more.
Nate will lead the Fighting Irish into the Maui Invitational, opening against St. Mary’s in the first round on Monday night. Clayton Conover takes a look at his game in the scouting video below.
