Graduate Guard with Elite Scoring Pedigree, Now Adapting to Blue Raiders' System
James Dent Jr. is a 6'5" graduate guard from Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders who previously averaged 14.2 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 3.1 APG as a starter in 31 games (2024-25 season), including a career-high 36 points in 2025. Though his 2025-26 stats dipped to 1.9 PPG in 20 games as he adjusted to a new role, his differentiators include explosive scoring bursts, high-intensity defensive effort (26 steals, 18 blocks last season), and a resilient, team-first personality. He’s not a pure stat leader right now, but his intensity, versatility, and proven ability to dominate games make him a high-fit, battle-tested guard for any team needing a reliable, energetic two-way player with championship-level grit.
