an Iowa guard profile with family roots and lead-guard instincts
Stephen McCarty’s Iowa profile shows a guard who could distribute, defend, and keep a team organized: in high school he led his team in assists from his sophomore through senior seasons, averaged 14 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals as a senior, and was named team MVP. He also came from a basketball family with Iowa ties, which often shows up in feel for the game and composure. The catch: the available Iowa-era record is limited, so this looks more like a depth-guard evaluation than a headline-grabbing star track.
