Zamal Nixon brings steady point-guard polish and defensive edge to Houston
In the 2010-11 season, Zamal Nixon was a veteran Houston guard known for tough on-ball defense and dependable lead-guard play, earning C-USA All-Defense honors while averaging 5.7 points, 15.7 minutes, and 2.0 assists per game across his Cougar career. He wasn’t a high-volume scorer, but he provided composure, ball security, and a scrappy, “do-the-little-things” presence that coaches love. If a roster needs a guard who can pressure the ball, compete every possession, and keep an offense organized without needing touches, Nixon fits that mold nicely.
