Mateen Rafiq brings efficient shooting and steady guard play to Cornell
In the 2025-26 season, Mateen Rafiq averaged 4.1 points, 1.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 8.7 minutes per game while shooting 49.1% from the field and 46.3% from three for Cornell[8][13]. The selling point is clear: he’s a compact, efficient backcourt piece who spaces the floor, doesn’t waste possessions, and can fit into a team that values clean guard decision-making and reliable perimeter shooting[2][8][13].
