Nina Cain brings length, motor, and upside to Washington’s frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, freshman forward Nina Cain has given Washington a low-usage, high-efficiency frontcourt option, averaging 0.7 points and 0.9 rebounds in 4.8 minutes across 9 games, while shooting 66.7% from the field.[1] At 6-foot-2, she was a top Northern California prospect and a McDonald’s All American West nominee, which matches the scouting buzz around her versatile, position-less style and strong motor.[2][4] If your team wants a young, athletic forward who can grow into a switchable, disruptive piece rather than demand touches right away, Cain is exactly the kind of long-term bet worth making.[2][4]
