Yale’s long, versatile guard with upside and a comeback arc
In the 2025-26 season, Jeannot Basima was a low-usage Yale guard who played in 10 games and averaged 1.1 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.4 assists in 3.8 minutes, but the bigger story is his 6-4 frame, multi-positional feel, and resilience after missing the 2023-24 season with injury. He has shown flashes of efficiency in very limited minutes, and Yale’s roster notes also point to a player with career scoring pedigree before college and a strong off-court motivation that suggests maturity and purpose. If you want a developmental wing-guard who can defend, grow into minutes, and bring a good culture fit, he’s the kind of flyer worth loving.
