Note #050: Ryan Conwell (College Grand Slam)
A 2026 NBA Draft declarant (who was selected 37th overall), 6'4" guard Ryan Conwell's four-year college career took him to four different schools and conferences:
- Freshman (2022-23): South Florida (AAC)
- Sophomore (2023-24): Indiana State (MVC)
- Junior (2024-25): Xavier (Big East)
- Senior (2025-26): Louisville (ACC)
Let's start with his senior season and work our way down...
In 2025-26 (Louisville), Conwell was a cool character:
- 18.8 PPG
- 4.8 RPG
- 2.7 APG
- 1.1 SPG
Of the 16 other NCAA Division I men's players that year to register 18+ PPG, 4.5+ RPG, 2.5+ APG, 1+ SPG, nine were seniors like Conwell:
18.5-19 PPG
1. Keon Thompson - 18.5 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 4.4 APG, 1.1 SPG (34 GP, 29.7 MP/G)
2. Otega Oweh - 18.6 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.8 SPG (36 GP, 32.8 MP/G)
3. Javontae Campbell - 18.7 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 5.1 APG, 3.0 SPG (32 GP, 34.1 MP/G)
19-20 PPG
4. Terri Miller Jr. - 19.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.4 SPG (30 GP, 31.4 MP/G)
5. Chaze Harris - 19.2 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 4.9 APG, 1.6 SPG (33 GP, 31.8 MP/G)
6. Erik Pratt - 19.4 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.1 SPG (30 GP, 34.4 MP/G)
7. Bruce Thornton - 19.9 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.1 SPG (34 GP, 36.5 MP/G)
20+ PPG
8. Dontae Horne - 20.1 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 2.9 APG, 1.9 SPG (37 GP, 32.2 MP/G)
9. Jordan Riley - 23.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.9 SPG (30 GP, 37.8 MP/G)
For fun, here are the seven 2025-26 non-seniors to hit those per game benchmarks:
Juniors
1. Rowan Brumbaugh - 19.2 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.6 SPG (33 GP, 36.1 MP/G)
2. PJ Haggerty - 23.4 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 3.8 APG, 1.2 SPG (31 GP, 35.2 MP/G)
Sophomores
3. Kahmare Holmes - 19.5 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 2.7 APG, 2.0 SPG (26 GP, 31.9 MP/G)
4. Nolan Minessale - 19.8 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 4.3 APG, 1.6 SPG (34 GP, 31.1 MP/G)
Freshmen
5. Caleb Wilson - 19.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.7 APG, 1.5 SPG (24 GP, 31.3 MP/G)
6. Cameron Boozer - 22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, 1.4 SPG (38 GP, 33.4 MP/G)
7. AJ Dybantsa - 25.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.1 SPG (35 GP, 34.8 MP/G)
Next, Conwell's senior season shooting:
- 89/168 2P/2PA (53.0 2P%)
- 112/325 3P/3PA (34.5 3P%)
- 124/149 FT/FTA (83.2 FT%)
Only two other NCAA DI men's players besides Conwell, since 1980-81, shot 53+ 2P% (min. 165 2PA), 34.5+ 3P% (min. 325 3PA), 83+ FT% (min. 145 FTA) in a single season:
1. Stephen Curry (2007-08) - 155/287 2P/2PA (54.0%), 162/369 3P/3PA (43.9%), 135/151 FT/FTA (89.4%)
2. Chris Clemons (2018-19) - 165/290 2P/2PA (56.9%), 139/389 3P/3PA (35.7%), 246/283 FT/FTA! (86.9%)
Curry was a sophomore in the season above, Clemons a senior.
If we remove FTs entirely, there are four additional instances of a player hitting the 2P and 3P baselines:
500-600 FGA
1. Randy Rutherford (1994-95) - 92/172 2P/2PA (53.5%), 146/349 3P/3PA (41.8%)
2. Fletcher Magee (2017-18) - 105/186 2P/2PA (56.5%), 148/337 3P/3PA (43.9%)
600+ FGA
3. Darius McGhee (2021-22) - 134/241 2P/2PA (55.6%), 142/364 3P/3PA (39.0%)
4. Chris Clemons (2016-17) - 183/341 2P/2PA (53.7%), 118/333 3P/3PA (35.4%)
Yes, Clemons met the Conwell-adjacent 2P and 3P marks in two separate seasons.
Miller Jr. doesn't mill around in Note #035 on 2026 Draft elevator Aaron Nkrumah.
Horne, Harris, and Riley (also see Note #030 on Christian Bliss) are all tagged in Note #048 on Rafael Castro, and the Oweh Note.
Brumbaugh and Holmes are also Oweh contributors.
Haggerty has a say in Note #032 (Mark Mitchell) and Note #040 (Ebuka Okorie), both of whom are 2026 Draft targets.
Lastly, Magee made Note #028 on a 2026 Draft underclassmen entrant, Christian Anderson.
16.5 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.3 SPG (34 GP, 33.0 MP/G)
That season, there were eight other NCAA DI juniors besides Conwell who averaged at least 16.5 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1 SPG (min. 30 GP):
16.5-17 PPG
1. Xaivian Lee - 16.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.2 SPG (30 GP, 32.1 MP/G)
17-18 PPG
2. Jacari Lane - 17.3 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.3 SPG (35 GP, 33.8 MP/G)
3. Robbie Avila - 17.3 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.2 SPG (31 GP, 34.0 MP/G)

19+ PPG
7. Jalen Jackson - 19.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.6 SPG (31 GP, 31.4 MP/G)
8. Bennett Stirtz - 19.2 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 5.7 APG, 2.1 SPG (35 GP, 39.4 MP/G!)
Avila arrived in Note #038 on NBA Combine clinician Cameron Carr, and returned in Note #047 on Arizona baller Brayden Burries.
Moore Jr. made Note #045 on Otega Oweh, the 41st pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Stirtz, the 16th overall pick in the 2026, is also in the Oweh Note (and Note #030 on new Stanford man Christian Bliss).
Now to Conwell's junior season shooting splits:
77/151 2P/2PA (51.0 2P%), 99/240 3P/3PA (41.3 3P%), 111/134 FT/FTA (82.8 FT%)
Since 1980-81, there have been four juniors (including Conwell) to shoot 51+ 2P% (min. 150 2PA), 41+ 3P% (min. 240 3PA), 82.5+ FT% (min. 130 FTA). The other three:
1. John Jenkins (2011-12) - 83/153 2P/2PA (54.2%), 134/305 3P/3PA (43.9%), 128/153 FT/FTA (83.7%)
2. Tyler Harvey (2014-15) - 102/193 2P/2PA (52.8%), 128/297 3P/3PA (43.1%), 150/176 FT/FTA (85.2%)

For fun, the seniors and sophomores to meet those 2P/3P/FT shooting thresholds in a single season (as of 2025-26, no freshman has accomplished the feat):
Seniors
1. Scott Brooks (1986-87) - 95/174 2P/2PA (54.6%), 111/257 3P/3PA (43.2%), 142/168 FT/FTA (84.5%)

Buddy, boiling:
Note #028 (Christian Anderson) / Note #029 (Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn) / Note #034 (Jaylin Sellers)
Anyway, onto Conwell's 2023-24 sicko sophomore season (Indiana St.).
His per game production:
16.6 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 1.1 SPG (38 GP, 33.9 MP/G)
The four sophomores in 2023-24 besides Conwell to notch 16.5+ PPG, 5.5+ RPG, 2.5+ APG, 1+ SPG:
1. Caden Pierce - 16.6 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 3.2 APG, 1.2 SPG (29 GP, 32.8 MP/G)
2. Jordan Derkack - 17.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 3.9 APG, 2.1 SPG (32 GP, 33.0 MP/G)
3. Xaivian Lee - 17.1 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.0 SPG (29 GP, 31.2 MP/G)
4. Dion Brown - 19.0 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1.3 SPG (32 GP, 32.2 MP/G)
Conwell's sophomore shooting splits:
95/155 2P/2PA (61.3 2P%), 109/268 3P/3PA (40.7 3P%), 112/131 FT/FTA (85.5 FT%)
Conwell is the only NCAA DI men's player, since 1980-81, to shoot 61+ 2P% (min. 155 2PA), 40.5+ 3P% (min. 265 3PA), and 85.5+ FT% (min. 130 FTA) in a single season!
If we remove FTs completely, only one other player has met those 2P and 3P thresholds besides Conwell:
Shan Foster (2007-08) - 108/177 2P/2PA (61.0%), 134/286 3P/3PA (46.9%)
Foster was a senior in the season above.
And if we add FTs back in and remove 2s, only one other sophomore since 1980-81 met the 3P and FT thresholds (guess who):
Stephen Curry (2007-08) - 162/369 3P/3PA (43.9%), 135/151 FT/FTA (89.4%)
Finally, if we remove 3s and re-add 2s, two different sophomores (since 1953-54) met the 2P and FT criteria besides Conwell:
1. Jalen Brunson (2016-17) - 141/227 2P/2PA (62.1%), 120/137 FT/FTA (87.6%)
2. Keith Van Horn (1994-95) - 187/298 2P/2PA (62.8%), 143/167 FT/FTA (85.6%)
Foster can be found in Note #028 on Christian Anderson.
Brunson, the King of New York until further notice, just debuted in Note #049 on Labaron Philon.
View Van Horn in Note #032 (Mark Mitchell), Note #038 (Cameron Carr), and Note #047 (Brayden Burries).
Anyway, we'll finish up with Conwell's freshman 2022-23 season (South Florida).
A similar sampling of per game data:
5.1 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 1.9 APG, 0.9 SPG (32 GP, 18.4 MP/G)
That season, there were two freshmen besides Conwell to average 5+ PPG, 1.5+ RPG, 1.5+ APG, 0.5+ SPG in 19 MP/G or less (min. 30 GP):
1. Moe Odum - 5.6 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 3.5 APG, 0.8 SPG (31 GP, 15.9 MP/G)
2. Donovan Dent - 5.6 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 2.3 APG, 0.9 SPG (34 GP, 18.5 MP/G)
Let's look at those categories through the per 40 lens:
Conwell (2022-23) - 11.0 PTS/40 MP, 4.1 TRB/40 MP, 4.1 AST/40 MP, 1.9 STL/40 MP
The six freshmen besides Conwell and Dent (12.2, 4.4, 5.0, 1.9) in 2022-23 to hit 11+ PTS/40 MP, 4+ TRB/40 MP, 4+ AST/40 MP, 1.5+ STL/40 MP (min. 32 GP) are listed below. All stats shown are per 40:
11-13 PTS/40 MP
1. Kylan Boswell - 12.1 PTS, 4.1 TRB, 4.2 AST, 2.0 STL (35 GP, 15.2 MP/G)
2. Jordan Derkack - 12.2 PTS, 6.7 TRB, 4.7 AST, 3.4 STL (34 GP, 24.1 MP/G)
3. Tavari Johnson - 12.6 PTS, 4.8 TRB, 4.7 AST, 2.1 STL (32 GP, 14.6 MP/G)
13-15 PTS/40 MP
4. Cason Wallace - 14.6 PTS, 4.6 TRB, 5.3 AST, 2.4 STL (32 GP, 32.2 MP/G)
5. Anthony Black - 14.7 PTS, 5.8 TRB, 4.5 AST, 2.4 STL (36 GP, 34.9 MP/G)
15+ PTS/40 MP
6. Arturo Dean - 16.0 PTS, 5.6 TRB, 5.1 AST, 3.4 STL (32 GP, 29.7 MP/G)
Black was the 6th overall pick in 2023, while Wallace was selected 10th.
Dent, well, made a dent in Note #045 on the mega Otega.
