Efficient, physical scorer who’s trending up
Pounds brings a clear **inside-out offensive punch**: in the 2025-26 season, he’s producing 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 52.1% from the field and 35.3% from three, a big jump from his 2024-25 Old Dominion season. He looks like a low-mistake, high-efficiency forward who can finish through contact, stretch the floor, and rebound his area without needing heavy usage. The main fit question is role: he profiles best as a complementary piece who can score efficiently rather than a primary creator.
