Max Laskey brings size and upside to NIU’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Northern Illinois freshman guard Max Laskey is still early in his college sample, but his profile pops: a 6-foot-5 shot-making wing/guard with a pro-style frame, perimeter range, and enough versatility to fit as a connector rather than a volume ball-stopper. He arrived from IMG Academy after averaging 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists as a senior at Seaholm, which hints at balanced guard instincts rather than one-dimensional scoring. For a team looking for a long, developmental guard with upside and spacing potential, he’s an intriguing fit.
