Nicholas Cortez is Oneonta’s steady, high-usage two-way guard
In the 2025-26 season, Nicholas Cortez earned All-SUNYAC Third Team honors after starting 26 games and averaging 12.3 points, 56 assists, and a team-high 31 steals while shooting .442 from the field and .381 from three. He’s a compact, pesky guard who brings scoring punch, playmaking, and real defensive disruption—plus he’s been a reliable late-clock creator, with eight games of 15+ points. At 5'7", he wins with craft, toughness, and activity, not size. If a team wants a competitive lead guard who makes winning plays and won’t back down, he’s a strong fit.
