Shug Hickson brings polished scoring punch and glass-cleaning instincts to Tennessee Tech
Shug Hickson is a guard whose appeal is two-way impact: reliable scoring touch, rebounding for his position, and the kind of aggressive, high-motor style that can stabilize a lineup. At NC State, he was a productive frontcourt creator as a freshman, posting 8.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in the 2007-08 season, and his early career profile showed efficiency and physicality more than flash.[11] If Tennessee Tech needs a hard-nosed competitor who can finish, rebound, and raise the team’s toughness level, Hickson looks like a fit.
