Yassine Gharram brings rebounding, size, and guard versatility to Pepperdine
Gharram is an intriguing transfer guard because he combines solid perimeter efficiency with uncommon rebounding for his position, posting 6.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season across eight appearances for Yale[4][10]. He also showed flashes of two-way value with 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, suggesting a connector who can help possession-to-possession rather than just score[4][10]. The main question is availability and continuity, since one report noted he left Yale in December 2024 and had not returned, so his fit depends on whether Pepperdine gets the steadier version of his talent[15].
