Pasha Shemirani brings size, stretch potential, and developmental upside to Pepperdine
Shemirani is a 6-foot-5 redshirt freshman forward who appeared in 17 games for Pepperdine in 2025-26, but his role was still limited as he averaged 4.2 minutes and 0.5 points while shooting 23.1% overall and 33.3% from three.[10][11][4] His calling card is long-term upside rather than current production: he has shown some perimeter touch, flashed a 4-rebound outing twice, and arrived with a prep résumé that included 12.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game at Salpointe Catholic, plus recognition as a top Arizona prospect.[10][7] For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a project forward with size, shooting promise, and room to grow rather than an immediate impact scorer.[12][8]
