veteran Delaware State guard with scoring punch and playmaking chops
DeAndre Haywood built his reputation at Delaware State as a tough, experienced guard who can score efficiently, create for others, and chip in steals; in the 2015-16 season he averaged 11.5 points per game, led the Hornets in steals, and ranked second in assists, then followed with a late-game winning basket in the 2016-17 MEAC opener. His differentiators are poise, clutch shot-making, and two-way impact—exactly the kind of high-IQ, competitive guard coaches love when they want a stabilizer who can tilt close games.
