Omar Baqai brings steady guard play and playmaking to Florida National
Baqai’s current profile is that of a **low-usage, pass-first guard**: in 2025-26 he has averaged **6.0 points and 4.0 assists per game** while shooting **50% from three** in limited minutes, which suggests efficiency and touch rather than high-volume scoring.[1][2] He stands out more for **ball movement, decision-making, and perimeter shot-making** than for pure shot creation, and his 2023-24 high school numbers also showed disruptive guard traits with **1.5 steals per game**.[6] If your team needs a composed connector who can keep an offense organized, he is a sensible fit; if you need an explosive primary scorer, that is not his current calling card.[1][2][6]
