UMBC’s long, versatile wing with proven scoring pop
Rich Giddens was a 6-foot-5 guard/forward for UMBC and, in the 1997-98 season, he flashed real two-way utility: he could score in bunches, shoot from deep, and give the Retrievers a physical perimeter presence. Historical stats show a career line of 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, with a 38.2% field-goal mark and 34.2% from three, while old UMBC coverage described him as a “tremendous outside shooter” and a player who could stop people on the other end. If you want a switchable wing with grit and shot-making, he fits the mold.
