Rihards Vavers is emerging as a high-volume perimeter spacer for Washington State
Vavers has grown into a legitimate wing scoring threat for Washington State, pairing **size (6-7)** with **shot-making range** and a willingness to let it fly from three; in 2025-26 he has produced double-digit scoring stretches and has shown he can hit at a solid clip from deep. His value goes beyond box-score points: he profiles as a floor-spacer who forces defenses to respect him on the perimeter, and his earlier Latvian FIBA production suggests real scoring upside. He fits best with a team that needs a **stretch forward** who can create spacing without needing high usage.
