Brazilian Guard Bringing International Pedigree to Radford
Freshman guard Diogo Alves is a promising international prospect from Tualatin, Oregon, bringing valuable experience from Brazil's youth national teams. The 2025-26 season marks his college debut at Radford after competing in the 2023 South American U17 Championship (5.2 ppg) and the prestigious BWB Americas event (4.0 ppg on 40% 3-point shooting). At 6'0", Alves projects as a floor spacer with three-point range and international basketball maturity. As a freshman still acclimating to college-level play, he represents upside potential for a guard-needy program seeking a developing perimeter scorer with global experience and shooting touch.
