Andre Young’s scoring surge and playmaking make him a high-upside backcourt fit
Young is a combo guard whose calling card is shot creation and steady production: in 2025-26 at Clayton State he averaged 17.8 points, added 78 assists and 48 steals, and broke the school record with a 46-point game and 18 field goals made. He brings proven volume scoring, above-average three-point touch, and disruptive defense, while his Rider stop showed he can contribute in a smaller role when needed. The main question for a team is role translation, but his intensity, experience, and ability to impact both ends make him a compelling fit for programs needing a score-first guard with edge.[1][3][4]
