Irish Coquia brings steady shot-making and backcourt versatility to New Orleans
In the 2025-26 season, Irish Coquia has been a low-usage but efficient guard for New Orleans, showing reliable perimeter touch with solid free-throw shooting and the ability to hit spot-up threes.[9][10] He’s a 6-foot-2 junior from Vancouver, BC, with experience from Simon Fraser, where he played in 56 games and earned team MVP honors, which hints at a mature, team-first engine rather than flashy volume.[2] He looks like a fit for teams needing a composed connective guard who can space the floor, move the ball, and stay ready without needing touches to stay engaged.[2][10]
