Samford’s lightning-quick floor general still pops as a high-IQ playmaker
Josh Sharkey’s calling card at Samford is pure table-setting: in the 2019-20 season he averaged 18.0 points, 7.2 assists and 2.7 steals per game while ranking among the nation’s leaders in both assists and steals[9]. He’s the kind of guard who can bend a defense with pace, pressure and passing vision, and Samford’s own notes show he owns program records for single-season assists and steals[12]. The knock has been turnovers and a streaky outside shot, but the upside is a disruptive, tempo-controlling lead guard who brings edge, energy and real game-breaking playmaking[14][15].
