Hina Suzuki brings veteran playmaking and steady backcourt value to North Alabama
In the 2021-22 season, Hina Suzuki was North Alabama’s engine: she led the team with 131 assists, ranked third in the ASUN in total assists, and tied for second in the league with 4.5 assists per game while also shooting 81.3% from the free-throw line.[2][5] Her differentiator is pure guard control—she’s a pass-first organizer who can also pop for big nights, like 28 points and 8 assists in a 2022 win over Pitt, and she earned ASUN Player of the Week honors for that kind of two-way impact.[1] She also came back from a season-ending knee injury in 2020-21 to start 20 straight games, which says a lot about her resilience and competitiveness.[2]
