a polished Furman guard whose game was derailed by injury
Jordan Loyd’s Furman story is less about a finished stat line and more about what he flashed before injuries got in the way: he was viewed as a high-upside guard who could handle point duties, and one Furman report noted he had been set to take over the top point-guard role before a knee injury sidelined him in the 2012-13 season. For a roster fit, he looked like the kind of guard coaches trust for toughness, ball-handling, and lead-guard instincts—but the big question was health and availability, not talent.
