Ismail Ali brings steady guard play and elite table-setting for Bowling Green
In the 2025-26 season, Ismail Ali is the kind of guard coaches trust to keep an offense humming: he averaged 6.7 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.2 turnovers in 23.7 minutes, while also adding 1.3 steals per game and 2.1 rebounds. He has been a reliable distributor and high-motor defender, with Bowling Green noting his team-leading assist production and strong steal numbers. The catch: his shooting has been a swing skill, so he profiles best as a connective, pace-setting fit rather than a pure scorer.
