USC’s high-usage shot-maker with edge, production, and baggage
In the 2025-26 season at USC, Chad Baker-Mazara was the Trojans’ leading scorer, putting up 18.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 44.4% from the field and 38.1% from three across 26 appearances. His calling card is a do-everything wing skill set: scoring from all three levels, drawing contact, and bringing real defensive activity with 1.3 blocks per game. The catch? His season ended with dismissal from the program after an accumulation of issues, so the fit is talented-but-volatile rather than clean-and-comfortable.
