Charlotte’s do-it-all guard and late-game spark
In the 2025-26 season, Dezayne Mingo has been Charlotte’s engine, giving the 49ers steady shot creation, playmaking, and a real downhill threat; he posted 12.6 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game, and he flashed takeover ability with a 35-point, eight-3-pointer performance in the 2026 AAC Tournament. Coaches and coverage describe him as a high-IQ, true point guard who pressures the rim, facilitates with ease, and helps raise the offense’s ceiling, which makes him a strong fit for teams needing a composed lead guard who can also bend defenses as a scorer.
