Memphis native, efficient two-way guard with a real second-half surge
In the 2025-26 season, Curtis Givens III gave Memphis a versatile backcourt boost, averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 43.1% from the field and 36.5% from three. He also flashed real impact in conference play, including a 13.0-point weekly average on 52.4% shooting in mid-January. What makes him pop: toughness, local-rooted competitiveness, and a combo-guard feel that can score, defend and make enough plays to fit next to other creators. He’s the kind of guard coaches love because he can swing energy, spacing and shot-making without needing the ball every trip.
