disruptive two-way guard with elite steal instincts
Rideau is a defense-first guard whose calling card is pressure, anticipation, and playmaking—he was named the AAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2019 after leading the league with 2.9 steals per game and setting a conference single-season steals record, while also averaging 5.4 assists. He brings toughness and point-guard organization, plus enough scoring touch to punish mistakes, but his value is biggest when he can speed up opponents and create chaos. If you want a high-motor connector who raises your defensive intensity, he fits.
