Landale would look to duke it out with Thon Maker and Jo Lual-Acuil as the next solid center from Australia after Andrew Bogut and Steven Adams. He’s scored 21.4 points  (21st in NCAA) on 64 percent field goal accuracy (22nd) this season to go with 10.3 rebounds (17th) and 1.1 blocks. He lit it up for 30 plus points in seven different games, pulled down 12+ rebounds and swatted at least 2 shots in 10 games. He made 12 of 15 shots in a 26 point night against then #13 Gonzaga proving his offensive game against even ranked teams. Landale grabbed West Coast Conference Player of the Year and is another of the 5 finalists for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award.
