Maurice Commander’s UIC return brought instant shot-making and point-guard poise
In the 2020-21 season, Maurice Commander was a do-it-all guard for UIC, ranking third on the team at 10.5 points per game while shooting 43.2% from three and 84.6% at the line[1][3]. His best calling card was late-season consistency: he scored in double figures in nine games, with all nine coming over the final 12 games, and he hit six straight 10-plus-point outings[1]. At 6-foot, he brings quick, left-handed perimeter scoring and a steadying presence—less flashy, more reliable, the kind of guard who can settle a team down and stretch defenses[2].
