Makuei Riek brings size, shot-making upside and a quick-impact role for Fairfield
Riek is a 6-6 guard whose best trait is clear two-way utility: he can space the floor, handle the ball in a wing role, and bring energy without needing high usage. In Fairfield’s 2024-25 season, he played 19 games and showed flashes as a complementary scorer, while earlier that year he earned MAAC Rookie of the Week after averaging 11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists against Yale and Vermont[2][6][13]. His fit improves if you want a long, versatile guard who has already shown he can contribute in bursts, though his efficiency and volume scoring remain works in progress[2][3][5].
