Kareem South brings veteran guard steadiness, but efficiency is the swing skill
In the 2025-26 season, Kareem South has been a high-minute rotation guard for Cal, averaging 29.4 minutes, 6.8 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, and 0.7 steals per game while shooting 84.6% at the line, but his 27.0% field-goal shooting and 24.3% from three show he is more of a defensive, role-supporting fit than a primary scorer.[2] Cal’s overall 2025-26 success provides useful context, but South’s value is less about box-score flash and more about experience, toughness, and the ability to stay on the floor in a veteran role.[1][3]
