Former Top-30 recruit whose upside is still more about tools than production
Boateng enters Missouri with real pedigree—he was ranked No. 26 nationally in the Class of 2024 and was an Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year—but his college production has been limited so far, and he missed the remainder of the 2025-26 season with a left leg injury. In 2025-26, he averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game, showing flashes as a long, physical guard with defensive utility and some slashing upside, but he is still searching for shooting consistency and a bigger offensive role. For a team, the appeal is developmental upside and athletic wing/guard size rather than immediate scoring punch.
