Son of Four-Time NBA Champion Commits to Big 12 School

The son of a former NBA star will be bringing his championship DNA to the Big 12. On Friday, Andre Iguodala II, the son of the four-time NBA champion, committed to Baylor. Joe Tipton of On3 Sports was first with the news.

This will now give Baylor head coach Scott Drew, who has a championship ring of his own from leading the Bears to the 2021 national title, a chance to help mold a player who grew up around the game.

But while Iguodala II carries a name known in every basketball circle, On3 refers to him as a “late bloomer” as far as a prospect.

Iguodala II, who committed after his official visit, is currently rated as On3’s No. 197 overall recruit, No. 40 small forward and the No. 8 player in Missouri for the 2025 class.

At 6-foot-6, Iguodala II, much like his dad was, is considered a “3&D” type player, meaning he has the ability to hit a long-range shot and play shutdown defense when necessary.

To no surprise, Iguodala II shares his father’s confidence.

“Waco, get ready for another national championship!,” he told On3 in an interview after committing.
