Jaida Hampton brings veteran backcourt savvy to Detroit Mercy
In the 2023-24 season, Jaida Hampton gave Detroit Mercy a steady senior guard presence, appearing in 24 games and averaging 5.2 points per game while scoring in double figures five times; she also hit 87.5% from the free-throw line in her prior transfer season, a nice indicator of composure. Her value goes beyond the box score: Detroit listed her as a player who chose the program to stay close to home and compete in front of family, which usually translates to extra fuel and a team-first edge. She looks like a good fit for a team needing an experienced, dependable guard with a mature floor game and local pride.
