Northwestern’s high-usage, two-way floor general
Buie was a tone-setting guard for Northwestern in the 2023-24 season, averaging 19.0 points and 5.0 assists while shooting 43.4% from three, and he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors plus Defensive Player of the Year recognition. [6] What makes him valuable is the blend: shot-making, late-game poise, and enough defensive impact to affect both ends, not just pile up scoring. [6] For a team, he’s a fit if you want a fearless lead guard who can create under pressure; the main question is whether you need a bigger, more physical backcourt defender. [4][6]
