Takai Simpkins is Oregon’s steady 3-and-D-leaning creator
Simpkins is giving Oregon a reliable two-way senior guard presence in 2025-26, averaging 12.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 32 minutes per game while starting all 31 games and shooting 42.6% from the field, 35.7% from three and 84.8% at the line.[3][7] His fit comes from balance more than flash: he can score in bunches, handle secondary creation, and has shown game-to-game durability and heavy-minute trust, making him a solid lineup glue guy for teams that need a composed, experience-driven backcourt piece.[3][5]
