veteran floor general, instant offense, and a true leader
In the 2010-11 season, Jio Fontan quickly became USC’s engine after transferring in, averaging 16.3 points early in Pac-10 play and earning conference Player of the Week honors for a hot start that included 21 points against Lehigh. He stood out as a crafty point guard who could score, create, and set the tone emotionally; USC coaches called him the team’s best player and leader. The big caution flag: a major ACL injury wiped out a season, so health and durability matter. If your team wants poise, toughness, and a veteran organizer, Fontan is the kind of guard who changes the temperature.
