Harvard’s steady, defense-first floor general
Ali Curtis was a high-IQ Harvard guard who earned praise for running the offense and setting a tough defensive tone; in the 2014–15 season, she averaged 6.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 36.4% from three and 75.8% at the line. Harvard coverage described her as part of a “wolf pack” defense, which fits the profile of a player who adds composure, leadership, and edge beyond the box score. If you want a guard who organizes, competes, and makes a team feel sharper, she’s the kind of fit coaches love.
