Gus Etchison is Idaho State’s late-season shotmaker and playmaking spark
Etchison is coming off a breakout 2026 stretch for Idaho State, highlighted by back-to-back 29- and 36-point games and a Lou Henson Award National Player of the Week honor, showing he can carry an offense when he gets rolling.[2][6][13] His value goes beyond scoring: he also flashed high-end creation with 8 assists in the 36-point game and averaged 32.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.0 rebounds for the week while shooting efficiently from the field and deep.[2][13] At 5-foot-11, he looks like a compact, aggressive guard who can make a real fit for a team needing a confident, instant-offense lead ball handler.[13][14]
