Derrick Rivers is a high-volume scoring guard with all-conference pedigree
Rivers enters 2026 after a breakthrough junior-college season at Dodge City, where he led the team with 20.4 points per game, added 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 steals, and earned NJCAA Division I All-American, KJCCC Player of the Year and first-team all-conference honors[4]. His biggest differentiators are shot creation and consistency at the line, where he hit 88.8% on free throws and set school records for made free throws and free-throw percentage[4]. For a team, he projects as a competitive, proven guard who can carry usage and make winning plays, though his field-goal efficiency has been more average than elite[7].
