Nigia Greene brought instant bench value to Rutgers with shooting touch and veteran poise
In the 2017 season, Nigia Greene gave Rutgers a steady guard option who could stretch defenses, hitting 37.1% from three while averaging 4.0 points in 12.7 minutes per game, and she flashed bigger scoring upside with an 11-point outburst against Michigan State and an 18-point career high against Illinois. Her calling card was quick-trigger perimeter shooting, plus enough ball security and defensive activity to chip in 0.9 steals per game in her Rutgers year. For a team, she reads as a low-drama, ready-to-contribute guard who adds spacing, experience, and timely shot-making.
