Efficient two-way guard with steady playmaking and defensive activity
Atwater has shown he can impact a game beyond scoring: in the 2025-26 season he logged 85 assists, 44 steals and 74 rebounds while averaging 8.0 points in 25.3 minutes per game, and he has already posted multiple high-leverage scoring outings for St. Xavier. He profiles as a connective guard who can handle the ball, create for others and defend with active hands; the main question for fit is offensive efficiency, since he shot 38.7% from the field and 39.3% from three last season, but his toughness, experience and all-around stat line make him a useful rotation piece for a team needing a disciplined combo guard.[2][3][4]
