a **shot-making guard** who can swing a game with scoring bursts
In his Minnesota tenure, Springs showed the profile of a high-impact backcourt scorer: he averaged 9.5 points per game, led the team with 67 made three-pointers, and logged 16 double-digit scoring outings in 32 appearances with 14 starts.[5] He also had a proven ceiling as a creator and scorer, including an 18-point, 5-assist game against Ohio State, which hints at more than just spot-up value.[2] For a team, his appeal is clear if you want perimeter shooting, competitive guard play, and a player who can get hot quickly; the main question is whether you need more of a pure scorer than a primary initiator.[3][5]
