old-school Highlander guard with a quick-trigger scoring touch
In the 2002-03 season, Jake Wessel gave UC Riverside a steady two-way guard presence, averaging 5.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 45.9% from the field and 33.3% from three. His calling card was reliability: he started 17 of 24 games, posted double figures four times, and hit a career-high 13 points twice. He looks like the kind of smart, low-drama guard coaches trust—solid feel, usable shooting, and enough toughness to contribute beyond the box score.
