“Why Overseas Teams Should Be Watching Najeeb Muhammad: Full Pro Scouting Breakdown”

Posted by Kim Muhammad on

In an era where flash often gets more attention than fundamentals, Najeeb Muhammad is living proof that work ethic, winning DNA, and a coach’s trust still matter. He’s not the most explosive athlete on the floor. He doesn’t dominate highlight reels. But what he does is something even more valuable — he wins. Consistently. At every level.

At Lubbock Christian University, Muhammad became the engine that drove the Chaps’ success in the Lone Star Conference, logging more minutes than any guard in the league during his junior season. He led the team in assists, steals, and late-game decision-making, all while shooting close to 40% from three and over 80% from the free-throw line.

“When we leave the gym, we know there’s a coach on the floor — and that’s Najeeb.”
