Going Portaling: LA Pratt
LA Pratt, a 6-foot-5 graduate transfer guard, is moving from Northeastern to Northwestern after a brief 2025-26 season cut short by a foot injury. He showed significant improvement in scoring, playmaking, and defense in his three games that season, raising optimism despite prior struggles. His fit in Northwestern’s backcourt with Jake West and potential recovery from injury will be key factors in his impact.
- ▪LA Pratt averaged 17 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game in three games during the 2025-26 season before suffering a season-ending foot injury.
- ▪He previously played two seasons at Elon before transferring to Northeastern, where he averaged 11.2 points and 1.4 steals per game in his junior year.
- ▪Pratt posted an 18-point, seven-assist performance against Northwestern in December 2024, offering a glimpse of his potential despite the team's loss.
- ▪His adjusted RAPM improved from -4.3 in 2024-25 to 1.4 in 2025-26, indicating a strong on-court impact in limited action.
- ▪Northwestern head coach Chris Collins is gambling that Pratt will return to form as a high-level contributor at the Power 5 level.
