Jordan McLaughlin was USC’s steadying engine: elite vision, tough-minded leadership, and clutch control
In the 2017-18 season, Jordan McLaughlin was the kind of guard who makes a team feel organized the second he checks in: a 6-foot-1 floor general who could score, distribute, and defend with poise. USC listed him as an elite floor general and scorer, and he ranked second on the Trojans’ all-time assist list with 457, while also piling up 141 steals and 1,188 points. He’s a strong fit for teams that want a high-IQ leader, low-drama decision-maker, and competitive tone-setter more than a pure athletic bully.
