a rugged, old-school glue guard with a scorer’s flash
In the 2013 season, Desjuan Newton was a 6-foot-2 Robert Morris guard who gave the Colonials a little bit of everything: 3.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, plus a season-best 11 points at Kentucky. He projects as a tough, hard-working connector rather than a pure volume scorer, and the early scouting language around him points to a reliable free-throw shooter and “glue guy” mentality. If you want a guard who competes, fills gaps, and won’t hijack the offense, he’s interesting; if you need a high-usage creator, he’s more supporting cast than centerpiece.
