Wichita State’s relentless two-way guard and glue-guy alpha
In the 2014-15 season, Tekele Cotton averaged 9.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game for Wichita State, and that stat line says a lot about his value: he impacted winning on both ends, not just on the scoreboard.[1] His calling card was intensity — strong perimeter defense, active hands, and a knack for stuffing the stat sheet — while his junior-year surge (10.3 points, 37.1% from three) showed he could also stretch defenses when his jumper was right.[1][2] He wasn’t a pure volume scorer, but he fit winning basketball beautifully: tough, versatile, experienced, and the kind of guard coaches trust when the game gets gritty.[2][3]
