6-foot-6 Cal wing with upside, leadership, and a rare engineering brain
Kevin Armstrong II is a 6-foot-6 freshman guard/wing for Cal who arrived as a multi-sport, high-IQ prospect from Breck School, where he captained a state-title team and averaged 16.4 points and 10.8 rebounds in club play. In the 2024-25 season, he did not play for the Golden Bears, so the betting-on-him case is long-term upside: size, versatility, toughness, and the kind of team-first profile coaches love. He also speaks Mandarin Chinese and was selected as a student-athlete advisor, which hints at maturity and leadership beyond the box score.
