Niyi Olabode is a versatile two-way wing who gave UC Riverside steady rebounding and a physical edge in 2024-25
In the 2024-25 season, Olabode played all 34 games and made 16 starts for UC Riverside, averaging 4.8 points and 4.3 rebounds while showing real lineup flexibility as a guard/forward. His value is less about volume scoring than about toughness, activity on the glass, and occasional shot-making—he posted a season-high 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a game. ESPN also showed a notable two-way ceiling with a big dunk highlight, suggesting he brings energy and rim pressure beyond the box score. [6][1][2]
