Yves Missi

Two seasons in, Missi's résumé is short but real. All-Rookie Second Team as the 21st pick is exactly the kind of return a team hopes for from the back half of the first round, and finishing fifth in Rookie of the Year voting put him in the conversation with the class's headline names rather than behind them.What makes the record notable is the trajectory. He went from a late start in the sport to a first-round pick to a full-time starter in under three years, and his 2025-26 numbers as a starter, 9.2 points and 8.4 rebounds, suggest the rookie recognition was a floor rather than a ceiling.
