Simone Ruedin’s value was as a steady, pass-first guard for New Mexico State
In her New Mexico State seasons, Simone Ruedin was a low-usage guard who added value with playmaking, finishing the 2012-13 season with 35 assists against 65 points and averaging 2.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 17.8 minutes per game. Her differentiator was reliability as a connector rather than a scorer: she could keep the offense organized, contribute defensively and do the small things that help lineups function. Based on the available stat line, she fits best as a calm, role-oriented guard who can stabilize a rotation rather than carry it offensively.[7][4]
