low-usage but steady backcourt piece with senior savvy
In the 2024-25 season at Northern Illinois, Steven Tipton gave you efficient, low-drama guard play: 21 games, 10.5 minutes per game, 2.1 points, and 1.3 rebounds, while shooting 36.2% from the floor and 100% at the line. He arrived at Western Illinois after three seasons at NIU, where he logged a career-high 48 minutes in one game and a season-best 9 points on 4-of-7 shooting, which hints at toughness and trustworthiness more than flash. If you want a mature, defense-minded connector who won’t need touches, he makes sense.
