Nyasia James brings senior steadiness and defensive bite to JCSU’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Johnson C. Smith senior guard Nyasia James is a low-usage but useful two-way piece: early-season data shows 2.0 assists, 1.0 steal, 2.0 rebounds and 31.0 minutes per game, plus she’s been trusted in close-game moments. At 5-foot-5, her value is quickness, pressure defense, and veteran poise rather than volume scoring; she scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting in the 2025 opener and later helped seal a win with free throws. If a team wants a scrappy, dependable floor general who competes and doesn’t blink, she fits the bill.
