Cassidy Carson gives South Dakota a steady, 6'1" guard with two-way value
In the 2024-25 season, Cassidy Carson appeared in 18 games and made 14 starts for South Dakota, averaging 5.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while shooting 32.7% from the field and leading the team with 13 blocks[1][2]. The appeal here is size, positional flexibility, and defensive disruption: for a guard, Carson’s rim protection and willingness to take on tough assignments stand out more than raw scoring. She also showed a couple of 11-point outbursts in 2024-25, suggesting she can chip in when the offense needs a jolt[1][11].
