Al Durham’s old-school guard game: steady, physical, and clutch
In the 2021-22 season, Al Durham gave Providence a dependable lead guard who could handle big minutes, post 13.6 points and 3.4 assists per game, and get to the line at a high rate while playing through a sports hernia late in the year.[1][2][3] He wasn’t the flashiest scorer, but he brought toughness, composure, and late-game poise—the kind of guard who can stabilize an offense and punish soft defense. If a team wants a sturdy, battle-tested backcourt piece who competes every possession, Durham fits nicely; if it needs elite efficiency or burst, that’s not his superpower.[2][6][9]
