a steady, low-usage guard who helped Western Illinois with efficiency and playmaking
Delo Bruster’s value at Western Illinois came from being a poised, efficient lead guard rather than a high-volume scorer. In the 2016-17 season, he averaged 5.1 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.0 rebounds in 18.7 minutes while shooting 42.6% from the field, 37.5% from three, and 83.3% at the line; earlier notes also show he battled an injury in 2016-17, which adds context to his availability and role. His appeal is his shooting touch, ball movement, and ability to chip in without needing the spotlight—good fit for a team that wants a smart connector, not a ball-dominant star.
