Physical, fearless, and clutch when South Carolina needed a spark
In the 2016-17 season, Rakym Felder was a sturdy 5-10 guard who gave South Carolina a downhill, pressure-heavy bench punch, averaging 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while showing real big-game nerve in the NCAA Tournament, including 15 points against Duke. He stood out for his toughness, strength, and relentless edge — not just his box-score numbers — but his college path was also marked by injuries off the floor, suspensions, and eventual transfer, which matter when judging fit. If you want a gritty guard who can bring energy and shot-making, the profile is intriguing; the stability is the bigger question.
