LSU’s high-minute, high-usage scoring guard
In the 2025-26 season, Mackinnon emerged as LSU’s most reliable perimeter creator, averaging a team-best 15.7 points while shooting 37.6% from three and 87.7% at the line, with a late-season surge that included 20.4 points per game over his final five outings.[4][14] His value goes beyond scoring: he plays heavy minutes, competes through extended games, and has shown he can produce against SEC competition, making him a fit for teams needing a proven, tough shot-maker who can handle pressure and carry offense when possessions tighten.[4][5]
