UCSB’s clutch, low-drama lead guard with deep-range pop
In the 2024-25 season, Stephan Swenson was a high-value transfer for UC Santa Barbara: he averaged 13.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game, shot 43.2% from three, and piled up 59 steals, which shows a combo of shot-making, playmaking and disruptive defense that travels well. He also delivered in the biggest moments, including multiple buzzer-beaters and a 25-point conference-tournament outburst, giving UCSB a steady, fearless floor general who can bend close games.
