Omaha’s high-motor forward who can pop for a burst
In the 2025-26 season, Valentino Simon has been a steady role piece for Omaha, averaging 3.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 12.5 minutes while shooting 53.6% from the field[1][3]. His calling card is energy: he can rebound, finish efficiently, and has shown real upside in bigger minutes, including a 21-point, 10-rebound outburst in February that earned Summit League weekly honors[2][4][10]. If a team wants a physical, older frontcourt player who competes hard and can scale up when called on, Simon is a sneaky-good fit[2][13].
