DePaul’s steady guard with a scorer’s touch and veteran grit
In the 2010-11 season, Jimmy Drew gave DePaul a reliable backcourt presence, averaging 6.4 points and 3.3 rebounds while starting 17 games after battling through a foot injury earlier in his career. His differentiator was toughness: he earned his way from walk-on status into the starting lineup, bringing steady effort, perimeter shooting, and a no-nonsense, team-first mentality. He’s the kind of player coaches trust because he knows his role, competes hard, and doesn’t need the ball to make an impact.
