Isaia Howard brings two-way backcourt energy and elite steal production
Howard is a guard who stands out more for disruption and efficiency than high-volume scoring: in the 2025-26 season he averaged 5.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 18.2 minutes, shot 45% from the field, and ranked second on his team with 38 steals. His best trait is his defensive impact—he has produced big steal games before, including seven steals in a game, while also showing enough shot-making to score in double figures when needed. He looks like a fit for teams that want a tough, active, low-maintenance guard who can raise the floor on defense and play winning, role-player basketball.[1][6][9]
