Two-way guard with a defensive edge and usable scoring touch
Carlton Hurst’s calling card at South Dakota was his ability to do the little things: in the 2017-18 season he averaged 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds while taking on top opposing scorers, and he was even selected for the Slam Dunk Championship, which hints at athletic pop and energy. He’s the kind of guard who can help a team with toughness, versatility, and effort even when he isn’t the primary scoring option, making him a fit for lineups that value defense, rebounding from the backcourt, and hustle over pure shot volume.
