Rafer Alston's son, Reese Alston, commits to LSU basketball

From Houston, Texas, the younger Alston brings much of the same swagger and confidence that made his dad a streetball legend. He has good size at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, and he's an elite athlete.

LSU Tigers pick up another big basketball commitment

He's confident and borderline sneaky in his ability to drive to the line and get to the rim. Alston also has a nice, confident shot from beyond the three-point line, though.

"When it comes to his individual offense, Alston is a threat at all three levels, but may be most comfortable with his pull-up, whether that be from deep or the mid-range area," writes 247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein. "His shot comes up from his chest, off both the catch and the dribble, and has a low and quick, but still clean, release. He also has a complimenting float game, and even the ability to shoot runners with either hand. He’s always a threat to get a piece of the paint, and has similar dexterity around the rim as a lay-up maker, as well as the reactivity to smoothly navigate traffic."

Alston recently took official visits with the Tennessee Volunteers and Kentucky Wildcats, so this is a big-time recruiting win for Wade and the Tigers. Speaking of which, Wade's 2027 class looks elite. Alston joins four-star guard King Gibson and four-star power forward Ahmad Hudson.
