Steady floor general for Washington, with upside as a pace-setting playmaker
In the 2025-26 season, JJ Mandaquit gave Washington a poised freshman guard who handled the ball well, averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 assists in 22 games, and showed flashes of real lead-guard feel before a foot injury ended his year early. The biggest draw is his playmaking composure: he can organize an offense, take care of the ball, and has enough toughness to fit a competitive backcourt. He looks like a good fit if your team wants a crafty, pass-first guard with room to grow once fully healthy.
