SMU’s high-usage, two-way guard and steal machine
In the 2004-05 season, Bryan Hopkins was the engine for SMU, averaging 17.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.36 steals per game while leading the WAC in steals and minutes. His calling cards were pressure defense, heavy minutes, and shot-making from deep, plus he had a proven big-game gear—SMU notes he scored 22.5 points per game in wins that season. If you want a guard who can carry usage, disrupt passing lanes, and compete with edge, Hopkins fits; if you need low-drama efficiency, he was more volume-and-impact than polish.
