Winthrop’s late-blooming scoring spark with big-shot range
In the 2015-16 season, Jimmy Gavin was Winthrop’s go-to offensive engine, averaging 18.7 points and leading the Big South in made threes while shooting 47.8% from the field, 41.0% from deep, and 82.8% at the line. He’s the kind of guard who can bend a defense with shot-making, spacing, and veteran poise, and his path matters too: he arrived at Winthrop as a graduate transfer after overcoming a late start to high-level basketball and serious health and personal adversity. If you want a fearless scorer with toughness and a proven ability to carry an offense, he fits nicely.
