Alex Wilkins is Furman’s high-volume freshman guard who can score and create
In the 2025-26 season, Alex Wilkins emerged as a breakout freshman for Furman, averaging 17.8 points, 4.7 assists, and 29.9 minutes per game while shooting 46.0% overall, 32.8% from three, and 82.4% at the line. He’s a 6-foot-5 guard with real lead-creator juice: he can handle, facilitate, and carry a usage load without looking sped up. The big differentiator is his offensive maturity for a first-year player—he already looked like a primary option, and that’s why he drew national freshman-of-the-year buzz before moving on to Kentucky.
