High-upside freshman wing still finding his footing at East Carolina
In the 2025-26 season, Paddy D’Arcy has been a low-usage freshman for East Carolina, averaging 1.1 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.1 assists while shooting 21.9% from the field, so the box score says “developmental piece” more than instant-impact scorer. What makes him interesting is the frame and background: he’s a 6'6” Australian guard/wing with legitimate size for the position and experience in the Australian system, which usually translates to versatility and upside rather than polished production right away. If your team needs a ready-made bucket-getter, not yet; if you want a long-term project with positional flexibility, he’s worth a look.
