Mervin James brings efficient scoring and real two-way value to Rider
Mervin James is a **reliable frontcourt piece** for Rider, averaging **13.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists** while shooting **48.7% from the field**[7]. His best differentiator is his blend of **efficient scoring and physical production**, plus the fact that he has previously shown he can spike into a high-usage role, including a **20.6-point, 7.4-rebound December stretch** for Rider[4]. At 6'7", he gives a team a steady forward who can score without forcing shots and has enough rebounding presence to fit a rotation that needs toughness and consistency[5][7].
