UCLA’s former glue-guy guard with length, toughness, and zero-fluff value
Nick Kazemi is a former UCLA guard who brought physical defense, rebounding help, and dependable basketball IQ more than scoring flash; in the 2014-15 season, he played in 12 games and logged limited but steady minutes, and across his UCLA career he appeared in 141 games. His best differentiators were toughness, positional versatility, and a team-first identity that coaches tend to trust in March. If a roster needs a low-drama, high-motor guard who fills gaps and competes, Kazemi fits the bill.
