Darnez Slater is an efficient, bench-scoring guard with real upside at Colorado State
In the 2025-26 season, Darnez Slater has shown he can give Colorado State a spark off the bench, including a 17-point outing on perfect 6-for-6 shooting in a blowout win and a season line that points to efficient scoring in limited minutes. He brings size for a guard at 6-3, a good feel for the game, and a proven scorer’s résumé from high school, where he set a school single-game scoring record with 52 points. The big appeal: he looks like a low-drama, high-energy fit who can punish second units and keep the offense humming.
