Khalif Battle is Gonzaga’s microwave scorer with NBA-level shot-making
In the 2024-25 season at Gonzaga, Khalif Battle averaged 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 34.6% from three and 93.6% at the line, a clean indicator of a guard who can punish mistakes fast. He’s a 6-foot-5 shot creator with real burst, tough shot tolerance, and the kind of confidence that can swing a game in a hurry—plus he brings veteran transfer experience after stops at Temple, Butler, Arkansas, and Gonzaga. The fit question: if a team needs instant offense and edge, he’s a strong yes; if it needs a low-usage, pass-first organizer, not as much.
