Donovan Dent is UCLA’s table-setter, takeover threat, and late-game engine
In the 2025-26 season, Dent was a do-it-all Bruins guard, averaging 13.3 points, 7.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.7 steals while ranking among the nation’s leaders in assists and assist-to-turnover efficiency. He’s at his best when he’s dictating pace, creating easy offense for everyone else, and still punishing defenses as a scorer when they overplay the pass. The big selling point: high-IQ, low-drama winning basketball with real defensive activity. If your team needs a composed lead guard who can run the show and raise the floor instantly, he fits the bill.
