Jalen Celestine gives Cincinnati a big-wing shooter with late-season heat
In the 2025-26 season, Jalen Celestine gave Cincinnati a versatile 6-foot-7 guard who spaced the floor and quietly became a real problem when his shot warmed up: he averaged 8.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, and hit 40.5% from three across 32 games, with a late surge that included 38 threes in 12 games at 49.4%. His appeal is simple: size, shooting gravity, and enough rebounding/length to play bigger than a typical wing. He looks like a strong fit for a team needing a veteran connector who can stretch defenses without hijacking the offense.
