Notre Dame’s high-IQ, high-motor combo guard with a scorer’s edge
In the 2010-11 season at Notre Dame, Ben Hansbrough was a polished, tough-minded guard who averaged 18.4 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 47.9% from the field and 43.5% from three—elite efficiency for a lead creator. He was a full-time starter, a strong secondary playmaker, and a confident shot-maker who brought grit and pace rather than flash. His profile screams competitive edge: savvy, versatile, and productive, with enough scoring punch to tilt a game and enough ball skills to fit a good team without needing the offense built around him.
