Cleveland State’s pressure-packed two-way guard with a scorer’s touch
Shawnita Garland built her Cleveland State reputation as a high-energy guard who could score, defend, and create — in the 2010-11 season, she passed 1,000 career points and had multiple 30-point-level explosions, while also piling up steals at an elite rate. Her calling card was versatility: she could attack off the dribble, finish efficiently, rebound from the guard spot, and turn defense into transition offense. The fit question is easy — if a team wants toughness, pace, and a guard who competes every possession, Garland is a strong fit.
