15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and a block against those Husky boys … and 5-0 as a senior starter.

I’ve argued on this board for years that all Caleb Furst needed was more minutes. Not even a Mr. Basketball can do crap in 180-second cameos. Besides, stats rarely do him justice. He’s a 6-10 dude who’s very mobile with a nice touch, quick hands and superior intelligence. His presence in the paint alone alters drives and shots, and his ability to quickly position and block out big men routinely sets up teammates for rebounds. And do take notice of his repeated flicks out to Smith for steals and rebounds. Take Buddy the Elf and Angry Elf to Rome and watch them pick pockets.

Too bad he’s too nice of a guy to tell you people who wanted him gone to stick it. Be glad he stuck.

believe it was a career high in points. He’s been playing excellent in 2025 so far and has been HUGE. Unfortunately for him, he was stuck behind the NPOTYx2, Gillis and TKR. His skill set was different than the latter two and just didn’t complement Zach the way they did with scoring.

But that doesn’t matter now. Time for him to shine and he has. Hope he keeps it going!

You should be writing newspaper headlines. :)
No, wait, they're all dead.
Youtube titles, then. Yeah, that's it.

All that is true, but his abilities matched the void in this team resulting in him and the team being improved as a result of him playing. FWIW, last year before the first game (was there an intrasquad game?) I was talking to Braden's grandfather and he was talking about Caleb getting minutes with his hustle and such, and I right or wrong, I told him he was lacking in skill...and to watch him shoot. As others have said...he knows his strengths and is playing within them and becoming the best of himself. He has been a huge boost to this team.
