Jo Van Buggenhout brings pass-first guard play and pro-level experience to Indiana State
Van Buggenhout is a **true distributor** with polished pro experience, arriving at Indiana State after producing around **6 assists per game** in 2024-25 club play and posting **3.1 assists per game** in his early Sycamores stretch, which shows his value as a tempo-setting guard rather than a pure scorer.[10][2] His differentiator is feel: he sees the floor, keeps the ball moving, and has already handled meaningful international and pro minutes, but his current scoring efficiency is modest and his three-point shooting has been inconsistent, so he fits best with a team that needs a smart connector and secondary creator more than a high-usage bucket-getter.[10][2][5]
