Providence’s steady floor general and all-time assist producer
Cartwright was a high-IQ, pass-first point guard for Providence who finished with 646 career assists, ranking third all-time at the school, and he led the Big East in assists as a senior at 5.8 per game. He stood out for his control, vision, and ability to run an offense efficiently rather than chase volume scoring, making him the kind of guard who raises a team’s organization and execution. At 5'11", he had to win with pace, toughness, and decision-making—traits that translate well for teams needing a composed lead guard.
