Efficient Navy forward with a throwback, blue-collar edge
Mike Higgins has been a steady, efficient forward for Navy, with career college marks of 3.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 46.4% shooting, and ESPN lists him at 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 48.6% from the field in his latest profile. He stands out as a low-drama, high-effort piece who can finish around the rim, hit the occasional outside shot, and bring a mature, team-first presence—helped by a career path that included a two-year mission before returning to basketball. He looks like a fit for teams that value grit, role acceptance, and smart, efficient frontcourt minutes.
