low-usage IU guard who brought effort, size, and steady backcourt depth
At Indiana, Harrison Niego was a 6-foot-2 guard who played 25 games off the bench in the 2015-16 season, posting 0.4 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists per game while shooting 30.8% from the field.[1][5] His value was less about box-score production and more about giving the Hoosiers another active backcourt body with some size, a team-first role, and a background that suggested he could compete physically at the college level.[3][5] If you want a high-volume scorer, he was not that; if you want depth and developmental upside, he fit the profile.[5][6]
