Deep-bench Iowa guard with proven spot-up touch and academic reliability
Laketa is a 6-5 guard whose value has come in short bursts: over his Iowa career, he has played limited minutes, but he has shown he can space the floor, highlighted by making 3-of-5 from three in 2021-22 and scoring all four of his 2023-24 points on a made three against Florida A&M.[8][1] He redshirted in 2024-25 and was an Academic All-Big Ten selection, which points to a steady, low-drama presence who fits best as a depth shooter rather than a primary creator.[8]
