crafty EMU guard whose game was built on disruption, not flash
In the 2015-16 season, LaMonta Stone II was a low-minute Eastern Michigan guard who flashed some playmaking and defensive instincts, but his stat line was modest: 1.3 points, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 rebounds per game. He arrived with a reputation for toughness and feel — a first-team all-state senior at River Rouge who once averaged 21 points, 6 assists and 4 steals in high school, plus a national point-guard ranking from ESPN. If you value a scrappy, coachable backcourt piece with local roots and guard instincts, he’s the kind of player who can help stabilize a roster, even if the scoring ceiling is limited.
