Riley Kugel is UCF’s go-to scorer with NBA-ready flashes
In the 2025-26 season, Riley Kugel led UCF in scoring at 14.35 points per game while starting all 31 games, adding 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 41.5% shooting and 38.6% from three.[1][3] He’s a big, physical 6-foot-5 guard who can create offense, punish defenses from deep, and swing games when he gets rolling—like his 17-point, 9-rebound, 5-assist comeback showing against Arizona State and his 26-point peak vs. Baylor.[1] If your team wants a confident shot-maker with proven production and a sturdy frame, Kugel fits the bill nicely.[1][13]
