a high-usage Cincinnati guard who can stretch defenses and create offense
James has been Cincinnati’s most dynamic backcourt creator, combining confident shot-making with real perimeter range and steady on-ball play; in the 2024-25 season he averaged 12.7 points and 3.5 assists, and in 2025-26 he was around 11 points per game while shooting about 44% from three in available stat feeds. What makes him interesting is the blend of scoring burst, handle, and improved efficiency from deep, plus proven Big 12 production in high-leverage games. The catch: his status with Cincinnati was later clouded by dismissal reports, so any fit depends on team availability and off-court resolution.[10][15][16][14][2]
