College basketball鈥檚 top 10 freshmen so far in 2024-25 season
6. Kasparas Jakucionis, G, Illinois
The Lithuanian freshman is one of the most fun players to watch in all of college basketball. The 6-foot-6 guard has all of the tools and that is why he is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Jakucionis has great shooting percentages for a guard and stuffs the stat sheet with 16.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.
Against ranked teams (5 GP), Kasparas Jakucionis averages 19.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists on 48/41/81 shooting
He shines brightest even against the strongest competition, and that鈥檚 why I鈥檓 so high on him
His poise & control of the game are special for a freshman
