Matthew Bothun is a sneaky-efficient bench forward who can pop from deep
In the 2025-26 season, Matthew Bothun has been a low-minute, high-efficiency reserve for North Dakota, averaging 1.9 points in 5.0 minutes per game while shooting 37.5% from the field and 33.3% from three. He flashed real upside with a 15-point outburst against Dakota State, going 5-for-5 from the floor and 3-for-3 from deep, which hints at a stretch-forward skill set rather than a traditional bruiser. At 6-foot-9, 220 pounds, he brings size and spacing, but his current role suggests he is more developmental depth than immediate impact starter.
