Islanders' Bench Spark with Untapped Athletic Upside
David Bloom, a 6'4" G/F who played sparingly for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Islanders in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons—appearing in 29 games as a junior with 4.9 MPG and a career-high 19 minutes at Oklahoma State—brings elite high school athleticism (31-inch vertical) and versatility as a guard/forward. Limited college production highlights adjustment challenges, but his HS highlights show explosive dunks and smooth shooting; ideal for teams needing high-energy depth players with developmental potential. No recent updates post-2018 suggest he's off radar, but raw tools make him a low-risk flyer.
