College Park Skyhawks 2025-26 Roster and Statistics

Last Updated on October 5, 2026 by Mat Diekhake

The College Park Skyhawks’ 2025-26 season reflected the fluid nature of modern G League rosters, with the team serving as a proving ground for a mix of Atlanta Hawks prospects, two-way players, and veterans pursuing NBA opportunities. Rather than being built around a single dominant figure, the Skyhawks relied on contributions from a rotating cast as assignments and transactions regularly altered the lineup. Young players were given significant responsibility throughout the season, often stepping into larger roles as opportunities emerged. That approach produced occasional inconsistency, but it also created a setting where player growth took precedence. As a result, the season was defined less by wins and losses than by the continued evaluation and development of talent within the Hawks’ broader organizational structure.

Tip-Off Tournament

PLAYER NAME	ROLE TIER	MPG	USAGE TIER	PPG	RPG	APG	STK	IMPACT INDEX	NOTES	AWARDS
Jacob Toppin	Primary Scoring Forward (1.1)	31.0	High	18.0	10.4	3.2	2.0	88.70	A downhill scoring forward with real rebounding presence, Toppin attacked the rim while also stretching defenses enough to keep his scoring profile difficult to scheme. His previous College Park run established him as a high-volume G League creator who could also facilitate from the forward spot. Atlanta Hawks Re-Sign Forward Jacob Toppin To A Two-Way Contract	None identified
Asa Newell	Interior Scoring Catalyst (1.1)	28.7	High	20.0	4.7	3.7	1.4	78.67	Newell’s combination of size, mobility and aggression made him a natural interior pressure point, with the ability to finish through contact and contribute as an active rebounder. The brief sample is notable because his athletic tools translated immediately into a high-responsibility scoring role. Georgia star freshman Asa Newell to enter 2025 NBA draft	None identified
Malik Williams	Rim-Protecting Scoring Center (1.05)	27.2	High	16.1	10.7	1.5	2.3	70.69	Williams functioned as a traditional interior hub while adding enough perimeter shooting to prevent the defense from simply shrinking around him. His rebounding and shot-blocking gave College Park a physical backbone, and the Tip-Off Tournament stretch included seven double-doubles in ten games. Atlanta Hawks Sign Malik Williams to Two-Way Contract	None identified
N’Faly Dante	Pick-and-Roll Interior Anchor (1.05)	20.0	High	15.7	7.3	3.0	1.7	63.99	Dante brought a powerful screen-and-finish profile to the frontcourt, but the passing is what makes this tiny sample especially interesting. Three assists per game alongside strong finishing and defensive activity suggest a center capable of keeping possessions moving rather than simply waiting around the rim. N’Faly Dante	None identified
Caleb Houstan	High-Volume Floor Spacer (1.05)	31.9	High	16.9	4.9	3.1	0.9	59.60	Houstan operated primarily as a perimeter-oriented scoring forward, comfortable firing from deep while still providing secondary creation. His previous G League work showed that extended minutes could unlock much more offensive responsibility than his NBA reserve role, and this sample reflects that broader assignment. Atlanta Hawks Sign Forward Caleb Houstan	None identified
Dwight Murray Jr.	Lead Pick-and-Roll Facilitator (1.05)	30.1	High	10.7	4.0	7.8	0.7	58.46	Murray was the table-setter, controlling possessions through ball-screen actions and creating advantages for teammates rather than chasing his own scoring. His established College Park identity was built around creating for others, and the seven-plus-assist production here reinforces that role. Atlanta Hawks Sign Javan Johnson and Dwight Murray Jr.	None identified
Javan Johnson	Primary Perimeter Scorer (1.05)	32.9	High	16.4	4.1	1.9	1.7	55.67	Johnson supplied spacing and volume from the wing, with the freedom to turn catch-and-shoot opportunities into aggressive scoring possessions. His G League background includes a 36-point outing built around eight made threes, illustrating the shooting gravity behind this offensive role. Javan Johnson Leads Warriors With 36 Points As Santa Cruz Scores a Season-High In 146-136 Victory Over Grand Rapids	None identified
Kobe Johnson	Defensive Playmaking Wing (1.05)	28.2	Medium	8.4	6.0	4.2	3.6	46.62	Johnson’s value came from defensive disruption and connective play more than shot volume. His reputation as a multi-year conference All-Defensive selection fits the way this sample reads: active hands, positional versatility and enough passing to keep the offense functional without monopolizing possessions. Johnson Selected to Watch List for Lefty Driesell Award	None identified
M.J. Walker	Wing Shot-Creation Reserve (1.0)	26.6	High	11.6	3.0	2.9	1.2	41.14	Walker served as a perimeter scoring option with enough ball skill to attack closeouts and make secondary reads. The workload suggests more than a pure spot-up assignment, although the efficiency indicates that his offensive role carried meaningful shot-making risk.	None identified
Deivon Smith	Change-of-Pace Backcourt Creator (1.0)	18.5	Medium	8.5	4.6	3.9	1.3	40.26	Smith provided pace and improvisation from the guard spot, functioning best when he could push the ball, probe and create rather than stand stationary. His earlier college career showed the same all-around guard profile, while his College Park stint used him more selectively off the bench.	None identified
Eli John Ndiaye	Mobile Two-Way Frontcourt Connector (1.05)	26.2	Medium	8.1	6.9	1.3	1.3	36.96	Ndiaye brought a European-developed blend of size, mobility and perimeter comfort to the frontcourt. His background with Real Madrid included meaningful rotation minutes across multiple competitions, and the G League role leaned on his ability to rebound, defend and make himself useful without dominating touches. Atlanta Hawks Sign Eli Ndiaye To A Two-Way Contract	None identified
Erik Reynolds II	Microwave Scoring Guard (1.0)	19.6	Medium	6.9	1.1	2.4	1.0	25.08	Reynolds arrived with a proven reputation as a perimeter shot-maker, having become Saint Joseph’s all-time leading scorer while repeatedly carrying high-volume offensive stretches. In this smaller professional role, that scoring identity remained the clearest offensive tool even as his minutes and usage were reduced. Erik Reynolds II becomes the all-time leading scorer at St. Joe’s	None identified
Basheer Jihad	Frontcourt Energy Reserve (1.0)	11.7	Low	4.8	3.5	0.7	0.5	19.00	Jihad worked as a physical reserve forward, relying more on rebounding, interior activity and defensive possessions than sustained offensive creation. The limited minutes make this a small-sample role assessment rather than evidence of a larger offensive ceiling.	None identified
Nikola Djurisic	Developmental Wing Creator (1.0)	15.0	Low	3.0	3.0	1.5	0.5	16.00	Djurisic’s intriguing element was his willingness to handle and facilitate despite limited scoring success. At 6-foot-8, his guard-like passing instincts give him a developmental role built around expanding his decision-making rather than simply spacing the floor. Osceola Magic Soar to Victory Over Skyhawks	None identified
Tyler Polley	Stretch-Forward Reserve (1.0)	13.7	Low	3.1	1.4	0.5	0.8	11.60	Polley occupied a depth-forward role centered on spacing and opportunistic perimeter offense. The small workload limited his influence, so the clearest contribution was providing a floor-spacing option without requiring the offense to run through him.	None identified
Seth Maxwell	Emergency Interior Depth (1.0)	7.3	Low	2.5	1.3	0.5	0.4	9.40	Maxwell’s minutes point to a situational interior role, with his value coming primarily from size, screening and occasional rim protection. Earlier G League play showed he could produce stronger rebounding and shot-blocking stretches when given extended court time. Stockton Kings Acquired Seth Maxwell	None identified

Regular Season

PLAYER NAME	ROLE TIER	MPG	USAGE TIER	PPG	RPG	APG	STK	IMPACT INDEX	NOTES	AWARDS
RayJ Dennis	Franchise Floor General (1.1)	36.2	High (1.2)	24.2	4.8	10.3	2.6	110.62	A downhill lead guard and possession organizer, Dennis controlled virtually every important offensive decision for College Park. His size remains the obvious defensive question, but the combination of pull-up shooting, rim pressure and elite passing made him the Skyhawks’ clear offensive engine. His 10.3 assists fit the larger picture: this was a point guard asked to create advantages repeatedly, not simply score first. Peachtree Hoops	None identified
Keshon Gilbert	Lead Two-Way Shot Creator (1.1)	34.7	High (1.2)	20.1	6.0	7.1	2.5	94.25	Gilbert was a downhill guard who could collapse a defense and still make the next pass, giving College Park a second high-level creator alongside Dennis. His athleticism and defensive instincts added value away from the ball, while his limited three-point shooting remained the clearest constraint on the profile. Iowa State Daily	Big 12 All-Third Team (2025); NABC All-Central District Second Team (2025); Big 12 Player of the Week (2x, 2025)
Asa Newell	Interior Offensive Focal Point (1.1)	33.4	High (1.2)	22.8	8.5	1.8	2.4	93.72	Newell played like a modern scoring four: mobile enough to attack space, strong enough to punish smaller defenders and increasingly comfortable stepping beyond the arc. The short G League sample was unusually aggressive, with the first-round pick immediately receiving a featured scoring role rather than being eased into the offense. Atlanta Journal-Constitution	NBA Draft First-Round Pick (2025, No. 23); SEC Freshman of the Week (4x, 2025)
Malik Williams	Starting Interior Two-Way Hub (1.05)	27.9	High (1.2)	16.1	9.7	2.5	2.4	77.36	Williams gave College Park a sturdy interior reference point, combining post scoring and offensive rebounding with genuine rim protection. His seven double-doubles during the Tip-Off Tournament underline how naturally the offense and defense could run through his physical presence. Sports Illustrated	None identified
Isaih Moore	High-Efficiency Interior Finisher (1.05)	25.0	Medium (1.1)	16.7	9.1	0.8	1.4	64.68	Moore’s value came from relentless interior efficiency and second-chance activity rather than perimeter creation. At 6-foot-10, he gave the frontcourt a mobile finisher who could punish smaller lineups, and his earlier CEBL success showed that this production was not completely out of character. CEBL	None identified
Kobe Johnson	Defensive Playmaking Wing (1.05)	31.1	Medium (1.1)	15.7	6.7	2.7	1.8	62.14	Johnson brought a defense-first wing mentality to a much larger offensive assignment. His activity at the point of attack, rebounding from the perimeter and willingness to make connective passes allowed him to influence possessions without needing to dominate the ball. UCLA Athletics	None identified
Caleb Houstan	High-Volume Floor Spacer (1.05)	34.0	Medium (1.1)	16.1	4.3	2.0	1.2	54.52	Houstan operated as a high-volume shooting forward with considerably more freedom than his NBA role normally allows. Nearly three-quarters of his attempts came from three-point range, making his spacing gravity central to the offense even when the jumper was inconsistent.	None identified
Basheer Jihad	Physical Frontcourt Connector (1.05)	25.2	Medium (1.1)	13.7	6.4	1.4	2.2	49.77	Jihad supplied physicality around the basket while remaining capable of stepping outside the paint. His value was less about being a featured creator and more about occupying defenders, attacking closeouts and competing for possessions on both ends.	None identified
Nikola Djurisic	Jumbo Secondary Creator (1.0)	21.4	Medium (1.1)	9.7	3.8	2.8	1.9	36.40	Djurisic’s intriguing tool was his size-to-skill combination: at 6-foot-8, he could initiate offense and see over smaller defenders. The rough shooting sample made efficiency a problem, but the passing and defensive activity pointed toward a developmental role built around expanding his decision-making. BasketNews	None identified
Deivon Smith	Change-of-Pace Backcourt Creator (1.0)	18.3	Medium (1.1)	8.1	3.4	4.3	1.0	33.60	Smith was most useful when he could accelerate the game, probe the paint and create quick advantages. His assist production and rebounding instincts made him more than a conventional backup guard, although the three-point shot limited how comfortably defenses could play him away from the ball. Santa Cruz Warriors	None identified
Dwight Murray Jr.	Pick-and-Roll Organizer (1.0)	20.7	Medium (1.1)	8.0	3.2	3.9	0.8	31.80	Murray was a steady offensive organizer whose main job was to get the team into actions and keep teammates involved. His prior College Park role had already established him as a creator-first guard, and this season’s usage continued that identity rather than turning him into a volume scorer.	None identified
Javan Johnson	Stretch Wing Scorer (1.05)	20.4	Low (1.0)	8.4	2.9	1.4	1.0	28.77	Johnson’s offensive value centered on shooting gravity and quick-release perimeter offense. His previous Santa Cruz role showed the same spacing profile, and the College Park assignment gave him opportunities to extend that shooting into a larger scoring workload when the lineup needed it.	None identified
Devon Higgs	Defensive Disruption Guard (1.0)	20.5	Low (1.0)	8.0	1.5	1.2	2.9	27.20	Higgs made his presence felt more through defensive activity than offensive volume. The unusually high steal-plus-block figure in this small sample points to an aggressive defender who could change possessions even without being a major ball-handler.	None identified
M.J. Walker	Perimeter Shot-Making Reserve (1.0)	20.5	Low (1.0)	8.4	1.9	2.1	0.8	26.40	Walker served as a secondary perimeter scorer, working mostly as a spacing and attacking option rather than the central creator. His role required him to capitalize on limited touches, with the three-point shot providing the clearest path to offensive value.	None identified
Tyler Polley	Veteran Stretch-Forward Reserve (1.0)	20.2	Low (1.0)	6.4	3.2	0.7	0.7	22.00	Polley was essentially a spacing-oriented veteran forward, using his size and shooting background to keep the floor open around the primary creators. The role was deliberately complementary, with little need for him to manufacture offense off the dribble. The UConn Blog	None identified
Erik Reynolds II	Microwave Perimeter Scorer (1.0)	17.6	Low (1.0)	7.1	1.2	1.0	0.7	20.00	Reynolds entered the professional game with a scorer’s mentality, having carried a major offensive load at Saint Joseph’s. In this smaller G League role, his challenge was translating that shot-making into shorter stretches and fewer touches without losing the confidence that made him dangerous as a college scorer. Philadelphia Inquirer	None identified
Derrin Boyd	Defensive Pressure Reserve (1.0)	19.7	Low (1.0)	5.6	1.4	0.9	2.0	19.80	Boyd’s strongest calling card in the small sample was disruptive defense. He generated activity without needing many possessions offensively, making him more of a pressure-and-energy option than a scoring piece.	None identified
Chandler Baker	Situational Wing Spacer (1.0)	9.4	Low (1.0)	4.0	0.7	0.9	0.7	12.60	Baker occupied a limited wing role, with his minutes suggesting a situational assignment rather than a regular offensive workload. The clearest value came from keeping possessions simple and providing another perimeter body when the rotation needed depth.	None identified
Seth Maxwell	Emergency Rim-Protection Big (1.0)	10.8	Low (1.0)	2.3	1.9	0.3	0.2	9.40	Maxwell was used primarily as interior depth, bringing size and a willingness to protect the paint when the rotation required another center. His small workload makes this a narrow role assessment rather than a judgment on his broader G League value.	None identified
N’Faly Dante	Rim-Running Interior Specialist (1.0)	5.0	Low (1.0)	0.0	1.0	0.0	1.0	4.00	Dante’s single appearance is far too small for a broad evaluation, but the role was unmistakably that of an interior specialist: screen, run to the rim, contest shots and provide physicality. The one-block sample at least reflects the defensive tool that has defined his game.	None identified
