James Glisson III brings old-school toughness and stretch-forward value to the Privateers
In the 2023-24 season, James Glisson III averaged 6.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 32 games for New Orleans, starting nine times and scoring in double figures six times. He stands out as a versatile, physical forward with real shot-making touch for his size — New Orleans listed him at 6-7, and the program praised his toughness, versatility, and ability to impact both ends. He’s the kind of experienced glue player who can space the floor, battle inside, and raise a team’s competitive edge without needing the spotlight.
