the Bonnies’ veteran glue guy who brought defense, toughness, and winning habits
Idris Taqqee was a high-motor, selfless St. Bonaventure guard known as a “glue guy” who brought toughness, reliable perimeter defense, and rebounding from the wing; in the 2016-17 season, he averaged 5.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, and he also flashed real shot-making with a 19-point game and a 5-for-7 three-point burst against UMass. He fit best as a connector piece, not a volume scorer: a player coaches trusted to guard top wings, do the dirty work, and keep a team organized.
