Nicholls’ do-it-all guard with legit two-way juice
In the 2004-05 season, Willie Depron was Nicholls’ engine, leading the Colonels in scoring at 14.7 points per game, while also pacing them in rebounds (5.6), assists (5.1), steals (2.4), and minutes (33.7), which screams high-usage, high-impact guard play[1][5]. He also showed he could take over stretches offensively, including a 21-point game against Lamar in 2005, where he added six rebounds, four assists, and two steals[7]. The fit? A coach gets a tough, versatile, all-around floor leader who does the dirty work and the little things—basically, the basketball equivalent of a Swiss Army knife with a chip on its shoulder[1][5][7].
