Low-Usage Cal Poly Guard With Grit and a Coach’s Eye
Rick Higgins’ Cal Poly résumé points to a tough, high-IQ guard whose value was built less on box-score production and more on effort, composure, and adaptability; at Cal Poly he posted modest scoring numbers, but his path from walk-on college player to NBA G League head coach suggests real leadership, resilience, and basketball feel. For a team, that makes him the kind of fit you care about if you want a steady, culture-setting guard who competes, understands roles, and brings professional-grade perspective rather than pure stat-stuffing.
