Across 16 appearances Basse has built a profile defined almost entirely by his work without the ball, averaging close to five tackles per outing and peaking at 11 in a single game — figures that point to a high-impact defensive role each time he enters the field. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, which is consistent with a replacement forward used primarily to shore up the defensive line rather than generate go-forward. The two tries on record show he finds the ball at the right moments when opportunities do arise.
