Mikah Ballew brings size, clutch shooting, and steady two-way guard play for Portland
Ballew has emerged as a useful rotation guard for Portland, combining a 6'5" frame with shot-making confidence and late-game poise—most notably hitting a dagger 3-pointer in the Pilots’ win over Oregon State. In the 2026 regular season, he averaged 10.5 points per game with 29 made threes and an 84.2% free-throw mark, suggesting a scorer who can stretch the floor and hold up in pressure moments. He looks like a good fit for teams needing a big guard who can space the floor, defend multiple backcourt spots, and stay composed when the game tightens.
