Local walk-on guard with defensive pedigree and high-character backstory
Borde’s value is less about box-score volume and more about intangibles: at Foxboro High he was a four-year starter, two-time captain, and two-time All-Defensive Team pick, then earned a Rhode Island roster spot as a walk-on. In his 2020-21 college season, he appeared in one game and grabbed a rebound, so the on-court sample is tiny[4][3]. The fit question is straightforward: he projects as a depth guard who can raise practice intensity, understand roles, and bring toughness and defense-first habits.
