Naradain James brings size, rim activity, and a bruising forward presence
Naradain James is a 6-foot-8 forward who flashed the kind of energy coaches love in his UIC days: he averaged 8.3 minutes in the 2017-18 season and posted a season-high line of 2 points, 2 blocks, and 4 rebounds against Delaware State, with UIC also noting he scored on a put-back dunk in his first Flame action. The clearest differentiator is his interior physicality and shot-blocking nose, but the available public data is old and limited, so he profiles more as a depth big than a proven high-minute scorer.
