Leonor Peixinho brings size, upside, and international polish to New Mexico
A 6-foot-1 forward from Portugal, Leonor Peixinho is a developmental piece with real long-term intrigue for the Lobos: she already has experience with SL Benfica, the Portuguese national youth system, and the 2025 EuroCup, where she averaged 2.8 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. In her 2025-26 New Mexico season, she’s been a low-usage rotation forward, but the appeal is her length, versatility, and high-ceiling skill set rather than eye-popping box-score numbers. Think international polish, competitive reps, and a player who could grow into a real matchup problem.
