KJ Waddell brings freshman energy and shot-making upside for Principia
KJ Waddell is a 2025-26 freshman guard for Principia College, listed at 6'2" and 190 pounds, and his early-season profile points to a versatile perimeter player with real scoring touch and secondary playmaking value.[1][2] In the 2025-26 season, he averaged 8.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting .357 from the field and .380 from three, a useful sign that he can stretch defenses and fit in a modern offense.[2] He looks like a good fit for a team that wants a guard who competes, spaces the floor, and can grow into a larger role without needing the ball every trip.[1][2]
