a proven shot-maker and veteran bench spark for Purdue Fort Wayne
In the 2021-22 season, Deonte Billups was a major perimeter threat for Purdue Fort Wayne, earning Horizon League Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 9.1 points and ranking among the league’s leaders in threes made and attempts; his calling card was instant offense, spacing, and reliable veteran poise. He also crossed 1,000 career Division I points and brought a high-energy, role-accepting style that fits a team needing shooting, maturity, and a guard who can swing momentum without needing the ball every possession.
