Derrek Tartt adds steady backcourt depth for Albany
Tartt is a low-usage, defense-minded guard who brings steady depth rather than headline scoring; in the available season data, he’s producing modest offense while giving Albany another ball-handler who can keep the floor organized. ESPN lists him at 1.2 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game with a 37.3% field-goal rate, which points to a role player more than a featured scorer[3]. Albany’s roster page also notes he arrived with a strong Chicago-area prep résumé, including all-state honorable mention and a runner-up finish for Chicago Public League player of the year, suggesting competitive toughness and a solid fit for teams valuing backcourt reliability[7].
