Senior scorer and proven program record-setter brings shot-making and leadership to Missouri State
Nick Valla is a seasoned guard whose calling card has long been scoring: at Marist, he broke the school career scoring record with 1,493 points and set single-game records for points (42) and free throws (17) as a senior. At Missouri State, his role has been more limited statistically in the 2025-26 season (0.7 points, 0.2 rebounds, 0.3 assists per game), but the appeal is his experience, track record as a high-level scorer, and veteran guard instincts. He looks like a fit for teams needing leadership, bench shooting, and a steady locker-room presence rather than a primary offensive engine.
