Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Fears grew up in Illinois but transferred to Arizona Compass Prep as a junior, where he emerged as a four-star recruit and a top guard in the 2025 ESPN 100. He initially committed to Illinois over Kansas and Michigan but ultimately landed at Oklahoma, becoming the Sooners' biggest recruit since Trae Young. Fears started 31 of 34 games, averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.2 minutes while posting 43/28/85 shooting splits on 12.2 field-goal attempts, 3.9 three-point tries and 6.1 free-throw trips per game en route to SEC All-Freshman Team honors. Fears was a do-it-all wing in college, but he didn't have one elite, standout trait. He's not a natural point guard, but he can make plays for himself and others. Fears excels as a slasher and in transition because of his ability to draw fouls. His mid-range game and off-the-dribble jumper are solid, but he needs to show more consistency, especially as a spot-up shooter. Fears needs to put on muscle at the NBA level, but he has good instincts on both ends of the floor and carries a multifaceted skill set. When looking at Fears' stats and watching him play at Alabama, it's hard not to see a slender Josh Hart (6'4, 216). Jaden Ivey (6'4, 200) and Markelle Fultz (6'4, 209) are also fine comparisons who both went very early in their respective drafts but struggled to be a star at the NBA level. Fears doesn't have as high of a draft pedigree as Ivey or Fultz, but he could easily be a more impactful player if he harnesses a role similar to Hart.

Selected No. 7 by Pelicans
GNew Orleans Pelicans
June 25, 2025
Fears was selected by the Pelicans with the No. 7 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
Fears is a high-upside point guard, but he comes with a bit of risk. The 6-foot-3 Oklahoma product was one of the best ball-handlers in the SEC as a true freshman and averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He possesses an excellent handle and has a quick first step. However, he's a bit undersized at 180 pounds and struggled to find his shot, shooting 28.4 percent from beyond the arc. Because of his slight frame and scoring inefficiency, Fears may be a couple of years away from making a consistent positive impact at the NBA level. With Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado on the roster, the Pelicans won't need to start Fears on Opening Night, but Dejounte Murray's (Achilles) injury could force Fears into a rotational role right away.

The Nets could be interested in drafting Fears with the eighth pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Brian Lewis of The New York Post.
ANALYSIS
The Nets are believed to be exploring the option of trading up in the upcoming draft, but even if they stand pat, they might select a top prospect in the middle of the lottery. Fears is widely seen as one of the players outside the top three who could end up being a multi-time All-Star. The Nets are believed to have him high on their priority list. The former Oklahoma standout averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 34 games in his final college campaign in 2024-25.
