Tashan Newsome brings sturdy, high-usage guard production for Gardner-Webb
Newsome has been a reliable two-way guard for Gardner-Webb, with past seasons showing scoring punch, rebounding from the backcourt, and enough physicality to create matchup problems. In the 2011-12 season, he averaged 12.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, then bumped that to 14.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in Big South play, while also earning praise as one of the conference’s top returning scorers and rebounders. The differentiator is his size, strength, and knack for timely buckets, including multiple game-winners—exactly the kind of tough, proven guard who can stabilize a rotation.
