Sebastian Akins brings steady, low-drama backcourt value to Wake Forest
In the 2025-26 season, Wake Forest guard Sebastian Akins averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 turnovers in 15.3 minutes across 35 games, showing the kind of efficient, connective play coaches love off the bench.[1][4] His calling card is reliable guard decision-making and a decent assist-to-turnover rate (1.6), while his 40.4% field-goal shooting and 77.8% free-throw mark suggest a solid feel rather than a pure volume scorer.[1][14] The fit question: he looks like a useful rotation guard who can stabilize possession and chip in without needing the ball—good glue, not headline-grabbing fireworks.[1][12]
