High-energy guard with rebounding bite and defensive pop
Wainright’s Kansas State profile is built on hustle, versatility, and toughness rather than gaudy scoring: in 2017-18 he averaged 2.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.4 assists in 13.1 minutes, while flashing a season-high 9 points and multiple 7-point games. He stood out as a physical, athletic guard who could help on the glass and disrupt possessions, but his shooting consistency was a clear swing skill, especially from three and the free-throw line. If you want an intensity-first role player who can bring energy, boards, and defensive edge, he fits that mold well.[1][2]
