Rider’s steady floor general with a strong assist-to-turnover profile
In the 2024-25 season, Ruben Rodriguez emerged as a reliable backcourt connector for Rider, starting 23 games and averaging 3.9 points, a team-high 3.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and a 2.6 assist-to-turnover ratio, which ranked 2nd in the MAAC. He is not a high-volume scorer, but his value comes from decision-making, ball security and late-season growth—he handed out six or more assists in three of Rider’s final four games, including seven in the MAAC quarterfinals. That makes him a fit for teams that need a composed, pass-first guard who can organize offense and keep possessions clean.[3][2]
