Depth forward for Mississippi Valley State still fighting for minutes
PJ McDonald is a sophomore forward for Mississippi Valley State whose 2025-26 role has been very limited, with ESPN showing just brief appearances and no meaningful scoring output, while CBS Sports listed him at about 3 minutes per game in 2025. That makes him more of a developmental piece than a finished product right now, but he still offers roster flexibility as a frontcourt body who can fill space, learn a system, and provide short-burst energy. If you need immediate production, he is not the fit; if you want a low-usage, projectable team player with upside, he is worth watching.[1][4]
