Niv Barzilay brings scoring punch and gritty guard play for Johnson
In the 2025-26 season, Niv Barzilay has shown himself to be a sturdy rotation guard for Vermont State Johnson, averaging 7.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steal across 3 games while logging 20.3 minutes per game. He’s a useful fit if you want a compact, energetic backcourt piece who can score in bursts—he posted 10 points at Stonehill and 7 at Boston University—but the tape also shows a work-in-progress ball security profile, with 3.0 turnovers per game. The Israeli sophomore’s value is in his activity, toughness and willingness to compete.
