Zion Wilburn brings size, shot-making, and upside to Samford's backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Zion Wilburn has emerged as a useful 6-foot-5 sophomore guard for Samford, averaging 17.0 minutes, 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 38.4% from the field and 29.6% from three. His best selling point is his versatility: he has guard size, can rebound a bit, and has shown he can pop for big scoring nights off the bench, including an 18-point career high on 6-of-8 shooting with two threes. For a team needing perimeter length, development upside, and a spark plug, he’s a nice fit.
