Physical guard with defensive bite and upside at Pacific
Budu arrives at Pacific as a **hard-nosed, high-motor guard** whose calling card is defense, physicality, and competitiveness rather than empty stats. His high school résumé points to **Defensive Player of the Year** and all-league recognition, which fits the profile of a player who can pressure the ball, disrupt guards, and bring toughness to a lineup. Pacific’s roster notes he did not see action in 2024, so the key question is how quickly his defensive intensity and frame translate to the college game; if you need a guard who can change the tone, he’s a fit.
