Derek Long brings efficient backcourt scoring and clutch shot-making to Mercy
In the 2025-26 season, Mercy guard Derek Long has been a steady scoring piece, averaging 8.7 points per game in limited action while also showing a knack for big moments, including a season-high 16 points at Goldey-Beacom. The 6-foot-3 junior, a 3.6 GPA finance major, looks like a high-IQ combo guard who can stretch a defense and keep his cool late—he even buried a last-second three in a double-overtime Mercy win. If your team wants a composed, academically driven guard with size and timely shot-making, he’s worth a serious look.
