a defensive-minded freshman guard with sneaky playmaking upside
In the 2025-26 season, Miami’s John Laboy II flashed in limited minutes, appearing in six games and finishing with 7 total points while averaging 4.6 minutes per game. He’s a 6-foot-3 guard from Houston who came in as a three-star recruit, and the best part of his profile is the blend of toughness, defensive activity, and connective playmaking that helped him average 4.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game in his 2024-25 high school season. He looks like a smart, high-energy guard who can defend, move the ball, and grow into more offense.
