BYU’s steady two-way connector and high-IQ guard
In the 2006-07 season, Austin Ainge averaged 6.6 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 43.6% from the floor and 40.2% from three, which tells the story of a smart, efficient guard who could run an offense and stretch the court[1][2][10]. He also ranked among BYU’s all-time leaders in assists and 3-pointers made, and the best contextual read is that he was valued more for control, passing feel and shot-making than flashy volume—very much a “makes teammates better” type[1][4].
