Kallai Patton brings size, upside, and a clean reset to New Mexico’s backcourt
Kallai Patton is a 6-4 guard for the 2025-26 New Mexico Lobos who arrives with real long-term intrigue after redshirting at USC and missing his freshman season with injury. His high school résumé pops: back-to-back league titles, over 1,000 career points, and a senior-year line of 10.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game, which hints at a versatile, high-IQ connector rather than a one-note scorer. He looks like a fit for a program that values length, feel, and upside—assuming the health piece stays quiet.
