The 6-5 forward has been competing at the highest levels of prep basketball, sharing the court with future Alabama commit Collins Onyejiaka and Brown-bound Isaiah Langham. His journey through the competitive New England prep circuit has provided him with the exposure and development needed to catch the eye of Division I programs.
Playing Style
Altman brings prototypical small forward size at 6-5 with the versatility to impact multiple areas of the game. His frame allows him to defend multiple positions while possessing the athleticism to finish above the rim in transition. As a wing player, he shows the ability to handle the ball in secondary break situations and contribute as both a scorer and facilitator. His development at Winchendon has focused on refining his perimeter shooting and basketball IQ, making him an intriguing prospect for programs looking for a well-rounded forward who can adapt to different roles.
Recruitment
Ranked #408 nationally in the class of 2025, Altman has committed to the University of Pennsylvania, choosing the Quakers over William & Mary. His commitment to Penn represents a solid fit for the Ivy League program, where his versatility and basketball intelligence should translate well to the collegiate level.
