Joe Sayler brings proven scoring touch and local star power to South Dakota State
In the 2025-26 season, Joe Sayler has been a productive guard for South Dakota State, averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting 43.2% from the field.[2] His biggest differentiator is real, game-ready scoring pedigree: he arrived after a high school career with 2,702 points, the fifth-most in South Dakota boys basketball history, and a senior year average of 30.8 points per game.[1] For a team, he looks like a confident shot-creator with toughness, experience carrying offense, and enough all-around production to fit as a usable backcourt piece rather than just a volume scorer.[1][2]
