Alex Bates brings efficient, low-usage wing production and steady experience
Bates is a senior, 6-foot-5 wing who has settled into a low-minute but useful role, averaging 2.4 points in 8.5 minutes per game for Stonehill in 2024-25 after 2.0 points in 8.3 minutes at Iona in 2023-24. His value is in his experience, solid field-goal efficiency, and ability to chip in across the board without forcing shots; at Iona he also posted 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game as a high-school senior. He looks like a fit for teams that need a mature, versatile depth piece rather than a high-usage scorer.
