High-Impact Forward on ACL Recovery Path
Maikcol Perez is a 6'8" forward for Baylor Bears with elite international prep stats (14.6 PPG, 58.6% shooting at 2024 U17 FIBA), but he tore his ACL in practice and will miss the entire 2025-26 season. His differentiators include explosive scoring ability, strong rebounding (8.6 RPG), and high basketball IQ from U17 competition. While his injury history is a red flag, his intensity, versatility, and potential to compare to Jeremy Sochan make him a high-upside fit for teams seeking a dynamic forward post-recovery. Care about him for his ceiling; he’s a good fit if you can wait for rehab.
