Pepperdine's Local Freshman Guard with Malibu Roots and High Pedigree
Stevie Prudholme, a 6-2 freshman guard for Pepperdine's 2024-25 Waves, hails from Malibu and starred at Oaks Christian, earning All-League honors and a league title while playing AAU for Paul George Elite—injecting elite pedigree into a rebuilding WCC squad[1][3]. With family ties (sister on Pepperdine's soccer team) and Kobe Bryant as his hero, he's a homegrown talent thriving athletically and academically in business admin, boasting a special knack for cooking[1]. Limited stats reflect his rookie role on a 13-22 team, but his local intensity and upside make him a intriguing developmental fit for teams seeking gritty, versatile guards with NBA draft eligibility in 2028[2][3].
