Cam Gillus gives Howard a steady two-way backcourt engine
Gillus is a useful lead guard for Howard because he combines scoring, playmaking, and disruptive defense: in the 2025-26 season he averaged 10.8 points, 4.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 44.2% overall and 39.5% from three.[2][6] His best differentiators are pace control, willingness to create for others, and active hands on defense, with prior Lehigh production showing he can handle starter-level minutes and make an impact across categories.[4][7] If you want a guard who can organize offense and compete possession-to-possession, he fits.
