Iowa’s steady, low-usage guard with a quick trigger from deep
In the 2009-10 season, John Lickliter was a reserve guard for Iowa who played 21 games, averaged 1.9 points, and shot 28.6% from three and 30.0% overall, with a high free-throw mark of 83.3%[1][2][10]. His appeal was less about volume and more about spot-up shooting, ball security, and enough toughness to survive Big Ten minutes, but he was never a high-upside stat line guy[1][4][10]. For a roster fit, he reads as a depth piece: disciplined, local, and dependable in limited minutes, not a needle-mover[4][12].
