steady two-way floor general who runs the show
In the 2018-19 season, Lamonte Bearden was WKU’s most dependable backcourt organizer, finishing with 9.2 points and 4.5 assists per game while showing a strong 38.6% three-point touch and a 1.3 steals-per-game edge on the defensive end[3][7]. The big differentiator was his control: reporting from WKU highlighted his court vision and a 3.7 assist-to-turnover stretch, which helped stabilize the Hilltoppers late in conference play[5][10][12]. He fits teams that want a composed, pass-first guard with experience, toughness, and a feel for winning possessions rather than just chasing highlights[1][5].
