Egypt-Born Freshman Guard Ahmed Nedal Abdelrahman Brings 6'8" Size and 18-Point Burst to Texas Southern
Ahmed Nedal Abdelrahman, a 6'8", 210-lb freshman guard from Cairo, Egypt for the Texas Southern Tigers, differentiates himself with rare size for a perimeter player and a career-high 18-point explosion on Nov. 27, 2025, showcasing his scoring potential beyond his modest 3.5 PPG, 1.5 RPG, and 0.5 APG averages in the 2025–26 season [1][2][7]. His 41.7% FG% reflects developing efficiency, but his NBA Academy background hints at elite training and a high ceiling [3]. While not a stat leader yet, his intensity, physicality, and international pedigree make him a intriguing developmental fit for teams seeking a versatile, size-up guard with upside, though he needs more game experience to prove consistency [1][3].
