low-usage, high-energy wing with defensive juice for San Diego
Emmanuel Callas is a 6-foot-5 junior guard for San Diego whose 2025-26 role has been modest offensively, but his value shows up in the margins: in 20 games he averaged 7.3 minutes, 0.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.3 assists, and 0.3 steals, while shooting 41.7% from the field and 60.0% at the line[11]. The big differentiator is hustle and defensive activity—he has logged steal and block production in limited minutes, and San Diego noted a career-best six points, six rebounds, and three steals in a February 2026 game[13][14]. If you want a physical, team-first guard who can defend, rebound, and survive possessions without needing touches, he’s intriguing; if you need a proven scorer, he’s not there yet[2][11].
