Big guard value, defensive juice, and steady floor-spacing at Austin Peay
In his Austin Peay seasons, Cory Arentsen showed the kind of low-drama, high-utility game coaches love: a 6-foot-5 guard who could defend bigger wings, hit threes, and make winning-position plays without needing the ball. In the 2012-13 season, he appeared in 31 games and shot 44.8% from the field and 45.6% from three, a strong marker for a perimeter role player. He was also praised in game coverage as one of the team’s strongest free-throw shooters, which says a lot about trust late in games. If you need size, shooting, and toughness in one guard, he fits.
