Marcus Garrett brings elite defense and steady two-way guard play to Bethune-Cookman
Garrett is a proven, defense-first guard whose calling card is pressure, instincts, and toughness: he won Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2020 and has continued to produce as a pro-level contributor, including 2024-25 G League averages of 9.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in 28.9 minutes per game. He is a fit if you want a veteran organizer who can guard multiple spots, make winning plays, and raise the competitiveness of your backcourt rather than just pad scoring volume. His recent NBA/Hornets camp-and-waive cycle also suggests he remains on the fringe of higher-level consideration, which adds value as a mature, battle-tested presence.
