John Yi brings a steady, two-way guard profile to Pepperdine
John Yi profiles as a reliable, lower-usage guard who has already shown scoring touch and disruptive defense at the high school level, averaging 10.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 assists as a senior. His appeal is more about toughness, activity and fit than headline stats: he can contribute as a connector, pressure the ball, and give a staff a disciplined roster piece who walked on at Pepperdine for academics and opportunity. The key question is how quickly his game translates against Division I speed and strength, but his motor and versatility make him a useful depth add.
