Wesley Yates III brings shot-creation, steel, and upside to Washington
In the 2025-26 season, Wesley Yates III was a high-usage Washington guard who averaged 12.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while starting 25 of 27 games and ranking among the Huskies’ top scorers.[6][7] He’s a strong 6-foot-4 combo guard who can create his own shot, attack with physicality, and impact the game defensively, but his efficiency has been inconsistent and he missed time with a broken shooting hand, so the fit depends on whether a team values tough, downhill guard play with some volatility.[2][10][11][12]
