Jaron Hopkins brings length, steals, and two-way upside to Fresno State
In the 2017 season, Jaron Hopkins was a 6-foot-6, versatile guard who gave Fresno State real two-way juice: he averaged 13.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and a team-best 3.6 assists per game, and he also ranked among the nation’s better disruptors with 2.1 steals per game[8][13]. Fresno State described him as a big guard with strong basketball IQ and experience at a high level, while outside coverage highlighted him as a premier passer-lane thief and transition scorer[6][9][13]. If a team wants a long, smart, defense-first playmaker who can fill it up without needing a ton of touches, Hopkins is the kind of fit that makes coaches grin.
