Ali Faruq-Bey

proven scorer with a short-but-potent Idaho State burst

In the 2015-16 season, Ali Faruq-Bey averaged 13.1 points in 17 games for Idaho State before an injury cut his year short, a strong indicator of real scoring punch when healthy[1][2]. What makes him interesting is the combo of efficient perimeter volume and a clear go-to role: he was a 6-foot-2 guard who produced 13.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, and later continued his career at Western Oregon, where he posted 11.4 points per game as a starter[1][12]. The big question for any team fit is durability and role translation—when he’s on the floor, he can score, but his 2015-16 injury history adds a little “buyer beware” spice to the scouting report[1][6].
