TuTu Clayton brings two-way pop and playmaking to UIC’s backcourt
Clayton’s 2024-25 freshman season at UIC showed a guard who can create, defend, and handle pressure: she averaged 2.9 points and 26 assists in 21 games, while also flashing disruption with a five-steal game and a six-assist outing. She was Missouri Class 4 Player of the Year in high school, signaling a proven winning résumé. The main question is efficiency—her shooting numbers were modest—but her assist rate, steal activity, and ability to contribute in bigger moments make her a useful fit for teams needing an energetic, versatile guard.[2][1]
