Marcus Harris gives Sam Houston steady veteran guard play with shot-making upside
In the 2024-25 season, Marcus Harris averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 37.2% from the field, profile-wise a reliable backcourt piece rather than a high-usage star[1][4]. His value is the seasoned, keep-the-offense-moving kind: Sam Houston has leaned on his experience, and earlier Bearkats seasons showed he can score in bursts when he gets comfortable, including a 9.4-point average in 2017-18 and a 30.4% mark from three[2]. He fits best as a veteran guard who can stabilize a lineup, but the shooting efficiency says he’s more “connector” than “carry-the-load” guy[1][4].
