versatile 6-5 wing still finding his rhythm at New Mexico Highlands
In the 2025-26 season, Derek Eide has played limited minutes for New Mexico Highlands, averaging 1.0 point and 0.7 rebounds in 8.3 minutes across 3 games, so the production is still light but the frame and wing size are intriguing. He profiles as a physical 6-5 junior with some shot-making upside—his season line includes 33.3% from three in a tiny sample—and he brings a transfer-track background that suggests experience and adaptability. If you need a development bet with size, toughness, and room to grow, he’s a reasonable fit; if you need instant offense, not quite the fireworks show yet.
