Experienced Lobos guard with a crafty left-hand game and a comeback story
Jeremiah Francis III is a seasoned guard whose best calling card is feel: he’s a capable pick-and-roll organizer with college experience at North Carolina and New Mexico, and his early Lobos stretch showed he could contribute as a creator and secondary scorer. In the 2020-21 season at New Mexico, he averaged 6.4 points, 2.2 assists, and 2.1 rebounds in 21 games; in the 2021-22 season, that dipped to 1.7 points in 12 games, but his bigger story is resilience after a long injury layoff dating back to high school. If you want toughness, maturity, and a guard who’s been through the fire, he’s an interesting fit.
