West Virginia’s Patrick Beilein: a proven shot-maker and high-IQ guard
Patrick Beilein was a reliable scoring guard for West Virginia, finishing his Mountaineer career with 1,001 points and ranking among the program’s all-time leaders in three-pointers made, which points to a real floor-spacing weapon rather than a volume-only scorer.[2][7] In his listed season line, he averaged 7.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 37.4% from the field, so the appeal is his shooting gravity, experience, and feel for the game more than pure athletic dominance.[3] He is best viewed as a fit for teams that value basketball IQ, perimeter shooting, and a steady, system-friendly guard who can help stretch defenses.[1][2]
