proven scoring guard with MAAC-level production and two-way bite
Nwandu is the kind of guard who matters because he has already shown he can carry offense at a high level: in 2020-21 at Niagara, he averaged 14.6 points per game, was fourth in the MAAC in scoring, added 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game, and earned All-MAAC Second Team honors. He also brings reliable efficiency, shooting 43.8% from the field that season, plus a history of leading his team in scoring and flashing value as a gritty, all-around connector rather than just a volume scorer.
