Spending most of his rookie year in the Gatorade League and only averaging 19 minutes per game in his sophomore season, Forbes has had a quiet career so far. However, in 2018-19, his third season, Forbes stepped into a starting role and began to show glimpses of the success he had has a player in his senior season at Michigan State.
Forbes improved his points-per-game average by nearly five full points on nine more minutes per game. His 3-point shooting improved from 39 percent in his sophomore year to 43 percent, on more than two more attempts per game.
It seems that Forbes will be relied on to shoot. However, with notable improvements to his (albeit low) rebounding and assist numbers, Forbes has room to grow if he puts in the work.
