Gerard O’Keefe is Columbia’s efficient, shoot-first guard with real upside
In the 2025-26 season, Gerard O’Keefe gave Columbia a steady perimeter scorer: 8.5 points per game, 49.1% shooting, and 42.9% from three while appearing in 27 games and making four starts. His calling card is efficiency more than volume — he scores without forcing it, and his 6-3 frame gives him enough size to handle guard responsibilities. He’s a good fit for a team that values spacing, composure, and a guard who can punish mistakes; the flip side is that he’s not yet a high-usage playmaker or rebounder, so his impact is more “clean fit” than “carry the offense.”
