Steady, disruptive playmaker with a suspension-clouded New Mexico stint
Caldwell showed real two-way guard value at New Mexico, averaging 5.8 points, 5.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 31.4 minutes during his debut Lobos stretch, which points to a high-motor, pass-first defender who can impact the game beyond scoring.[1][6] ESPN lists him at 4.2 points, 3.9 assists and 43.4% shooting, reinforcing that his appeal is more about ball security, creation and pressure defense than volume scoring.[2] The bigger context: his New Mexico run ended amid a suspension and transfer plans, so fit concerns and availability matter as much as his production.[1]
