Mark Drone gives Texas State a rugged, high-usage scoring guard
In the 2024-25 season, Mark Drone flashed as a dependable two-way-leaning creator for Texas State, averaging 11.5 points, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 25.3 minutes over 10 games, then taking on a bigger scoring role in 2025-26 with 13.6 points per game and 2.8 assists. He’s a 6-foot guard who brings shot creation, free-throw efficiency, and a streaky-but-dangerous pull-up game, and he proved he can swing games when he gets downhill, including a 23-point outing against Appalachian State in 2026. The caution flag: his three-point consistency and efficiency can wobble, so he fits best with a team that wants a tough, attack-minded guard rather than a pure floor spacer.
