First RMU G-League Draft Pick with Elite Rebounding & Perfect Shooting Intensity
Markeese Hastings, a 6'7" forward for Robert Morris, stands out as the program's first-ever NBA G-League draft pick (2nd round, 9th pick by Grand Rapids Gold in 2025). In his sole RMU season (2023–24), he averaged 14.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while shooting 51.5% from the floor, recording eight double-doubles and a school-record 17-for-17 from the line in his 31-point career-high game. His differentiators include relentless rebounding intensity, flawless free-throw execution under pressure, and a 2024 All-Horizon League Third Team selection. Though recently indicted in a point-shaving scheme (2026), his on-court strengths—elite positioning, scoring versatility, and high-intensity personality—make him a high-fit forward for teams needing a reliable, data-driven rebounder who elevates with every possession.
