Hofstra’s sharpshooting, do-everything guard with a proven big-game track record
In the 2006-07 season, Carlos Rivera averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists for Hofstra while shooting 43.8% from the field, 42.2% from three, and 84.4% from the line[7]. He was also a strong two-way guard, finishing that season with 1.5 steals per game and a history of clutch scoring, including a 37-point burst and 25-point playoff-level performance in CAA postseason play[6][10]. The big differentiator: he was not just a shooter, but a confident lead guard who could create, rebound, defend, and handle pressure, plus he had survived a knee injury earlier in his Hofstra career and still came back as a high-impact senior[8][11].
