steady Kansas City guard with playmaking chops
In the 2008-09 season, Fred Ford played in 28 of 31 games for Kansas City, started 14, and logged 21.7 minutes per game while adding 51 assists and 20 steals, a profile that says “connector” as much as scorer[1]. He brought some grit and versatility as a 5-11 guard who could handle the ball, create for others, and defend enough to stay on the floor, even if the shooting numbers were modest (.322 from the field and .205 from three)[1]. If you want a reliable table-setter with a defensive edge, he’s worth a look; if you need a pure shot-maker, probably not the loudest fit.
