Abdi Bashir, a 6‑foot‑7 senior guard, is set to join the LSU Tigers after standout seasons at Kansas State and a recent campaign at Monmouth.
During the 2024‑25 season he connected on 44.4 % of his 8.4 three‑point attempts per game, finishing with a career 39.9 % mark on 614 attempts across 84 college games.
A Sharpshooter's Profile
Bashir led the nation with 18.5 three‑point attempts per 100 possessions last season and ranks second only to Honor Huff in total makes, with 127 treys to his name.
His shooting repertoire includes high‑difficulty half‑court and transition threes, a high release point that aids consistency, and an 83.8 % free‑throw percentage.
Coach Will Wade has repeatedly praised the guard, describing his elite shooting ability as a valuable asset that can stretch defenses and create spacing for the Tigers.
Physical constraints, however, temper expectations; Bashir has never recorded a dunk, lacks vertical pop and strength, and has only two career blocks, raising defensive concerns.
If he stays healthy, the sharpshooter could eclipse Anthony Wilson’s program record of 95 made threes, a milestone that would cement his place in LSU lore.
According to 247Sports, Bashir entered the transfer portal as the No. 122 prospect, reflecting both his upside and the uncertainty surrounding his physical profile.
