A Strategic Addition
Gonzaga Bulldogs have secured a commitment from French point guard Nathan De Sousa for the 2026‑27 season, adding a seasoned import who brings a blend of experience and skill to the program.
At 23, De Sousa arrives after a year in which he logged 10.9 points, 4.9 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game across 29 appearances for his French club. He shot 43.4% from the field, 36.1% from three‑point range and 76.9% from the free‑throw line, numbers that signal a player who has refined his outside shooting.
International Experience
His résumé includes selections for the French Senior National Team and a scheduled role in the 2027 World Cup qualifiers, underscoring his standing on the global stage.
Addressing Guard Depth
The Bulldogs’ backcourt has been a focal point of discussion after Jack Kayil elected to keep his name in the 2026 NBA draft pool, a move that left a vacancy in guard depth that De Sousa is poised to fill.
Coaches expect the French guard to contribute immediately as a rotation piece, leveraging his veteran presence and polished shooting to complement the existing roster.
