S'Mya Nichols is Kansas’s high-usage, two-way lead guard driving the offense
In the 2025-26 season, S'Mya Nichols has emerged as Kansas’s primary offensive engine, averaging 17.4 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 48.2% from the field; other reporting pegs her even higher at 19.3 points and 6.7 assists on 55.9% shooting, underscoring her rise as one of the Big 12’s most dangerous guards.[1][2][5] At 6-foot and already producing at a high level as a junior, she stands out for her scoring efficiency, playmaking, and ability to carry an offense—useful traits for a team that wants a confident creator who can initiate, finish, and pressure defenses all game.[1][2]
