steady senior guard with two-way polish and veteran poise
In the 2013 season, Tradarrius McPhearson emerged as a reliable upperclass guard for New Orleans, playing 25 games with 21 starts and averaging 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 40.2% from the field and making 20 threes.[2][4] He also posted 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game in ESPN’s 2013-14 game log, underscoring a steady, low-drama contributor rather than a high-usage scorer.[7] The appeal is his all-around guard impact, defensive activity, and experience-driven toughness; the caution is that he looks more like a connector and disruptor than a primary engine.[2][4]
