BYU’s assist-first point guard with a record-setting floor game
Matt Montague is remembered at BYU as a steady, high-IQ lead guard who made teammates better, not just a scorer: in the 2001-02 season he averaged 7.0 assists per game and finished with 217 assists, the school’s single-season record, while also ranking nationally among the assist leaders. His calling card was control—strong decision-making, solid assist-to-turnover value, and the kind of unflashy toughness coaches love. If your team wants a true point guard who organizes an offense and keeps the ball moving, he fits; if you need a volume scorer, that was never his game.
