Arizona’s relentless, record-book guard who could flat-out run a team
Jason Gardner was a 5-foot-10 Arizona floor general whose value went well beyond the box score: in his Arizona career, he scored 1,984 points, handed out 622 assists, and finished as one of the program’s most decorated guards, including 2003 National Player of the Year honors. His differentiators were pace, toughness, shot-making, and leadership — the kind of guard who could steady an offense, pressure defenses, and deliver in big moments. He’s an ideal fit for teams that want a fearless, high-IQ lead guard who sets the tone every possession.
