Rutledge was a **deadly high-volume 3-point specialist** for Nicholls
Lafayette Rutledge’s calling card was elite perimeter shooting: in 2017-18 he hit a program-record 97 threes, led the Southland in 3-point percentage at 40.4%, and twice buried 10-plus threes in a game, including an 11-for-16 explosion for 34 points at McNeese.[3][1] Beyond the box score, he brought real value as a senior-level floor spacer and one of Nicholls’ most dangerous long-range threats, with enough consistency to change defenses and enough shot-making to swing games quickly.[3] If you need a guard who punishes help defense and can catch fire in bunches, he fits the profile.[3][1]
