T.J. Billups brings veteran size and touch to Mississippi State's frontcourt
A redshirt senior G/F at 6-4 and 205 pounds, T.J. Billups gives Mississippi State a physical, experienced wing-forward option with proven scoring touch; in the 1998-99 season he averaged 9.5 points per game and shot 34.5% from the field, 38.9% from three, and 66.7% at the line, showing he can stretch the floor a bit while still playing bigger than his frame. The big selling point is his veteran versatility: he can survive on the wing, help rebound, and bring older-player steadiness that coaches usually love when the game gets chippy.
