Summary:

Sam Hoiberg is an agile, skilled point guard that played at Nebraska during the 2026-27 season. He is a cerebral playmaker that can reliably run the point, but he will need to be more assertive on offense. He could end up making an NBA team’s summer league roster, and his basketball IQ and feel for the game could enable him to compete for a roster spot in the NBA.
