Justin Hopkins brings veteran Texas Southern toughness on the wing
Justin Hopkins is a 6-foot-5, 205-pound graduate forward for Texas Southern who gives the Tigers a steady veteran presence and a reliable scoring option; in the 2021-22 season, he averaged 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 43.2% from the field, with ESPN listing him at 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in its later player snapshot. His value goes beyond numbers: he’s a seasoned, physically sturdy perimeter forward with a proven college résumé, but he’s not a high-volume shot creator or elite rebounder, so he fits best as an experienced complementary piece rather than a roster centerpiece.
