Lengthy, Versatile Freshman Guard with Real Two-Way Juice
In the 2024-25 season, Cham Okey gave SIUE a 6-foot-6 guard who flashed real upside: he averaged 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 13 games, hit 38.9% from three, and posted an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double against Eureka while earning OVC Freshman of the Week honors. The big sell is his blend of size, perimeter touch, and defensive versatility—exactly the kind of long, switchable wing-guard hybrid coaches love to mold. He’s still early in the climb, but the tools and flashes suggest a high-ceiling fit for a program that values length, effort, and development.
