Chris De La Rosa brings old-school point guard juice to UMBC
De La Rosa’s calling card is table-setting: in the 2009-10 season he led the America East in assists per game at 5.1 and ranked second in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.19, showing real control of the offense[3]. In the 2010-11 season, he was still a high-usage creator, averaging 15.5 points and 6.0 assists while earning America East Player of the Week honors, plus he was known as a steady academic and team-leadership presence[1][3][14]. If you want a guard who can organize, compete, and take ownership late, he fits; if you need a low-mistake, pass-first floor general with pedigree, he checks that box fast[1][14].
