James Scott brings elite rim protection and absurd finishing touch for Ole Miss
In the 2025-26 season, James Scott gave Ole Miss a low-usage, high-impact frontcourt piece: 3.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and a team-best 46 blocks while shooting 72.9% from the field over 35 games. The 6-foot-11 forward/center’s value is in the dirty work—rim runs, offensive boards, shot deterrence, and efficient finishing—and he flashed big-game upside with a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double against Alcorn and a strong SEC Tournament run. If you want size, length, and instant defense, he’s a fit; if you need a go-to scorer, that’s not his lane.
