27-PPG, 14-RPG Freshman Forward Who Signed Pro Deal in Japan
Roy Igwe, a 6'7", 225-lb freshman forward from Tokyo, delivered a dominant 2025 season averaging 27 points and 14 rebounds per game while leading Hawaii to a 27-2 record before signing with Kawasaki Brave Thunders in Japan's B.League. His differentiators include elite intensity (set Hawaii's single-game scoring record with 47 points), a physical, paint-dominating style, and a high-intensity personality that elevates teammates. Though he has no notable injury history, his transition from prep to pro in one year shows rare maturity. He's a perfect fit for teams needing a high-usage, high-efficiency scorer with international experience and a proven ability to dominate at the college level.
