Nate Calmese gives Wake Forest a clutch, playmaking left hand in the backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Nate Calmese averaged 10.3 points and a team-high 4.5 assists per game while shooting 39.8% from three and 77.4% at the line, a solid combo for a lead guard who can run offense and punish mistakes. His best trait is late-game poise: he hit a go-ahead 3 against Virginia Tech and a game-winner at Florida State, showing real nerve in high-leverage moments. He also brings active hands defensively with 1.3 steals per game, though injuries late in the season are worth monitoring for durability.
