Ripon’s Houston McKenzie: a steady reserve guard with upside in a small sample
In the 2025-26 season, Houston McKenzie has been a low-usage depth guard for Ripon, averaging 1.3 points and 0.5 rebounds in 4.0 minutes across 6 games while shooting 66.7% from the field. At 5-foot-10, he looks like a compact, energy-first backcourt piece rather than a volume scorer, and his value is in giving Ripon a dependable bench option who can stay ready without forcing the action. If a team wants size and a proven stat sheet stuffer, he’s not that; if it wants a disciplined, team-first guard with room to grow, he’s worth a closer look.
