5p 6a 1r vs Glenelg Country

-When he is playing with confidence, Sturdivant is one of the more competent creators in the area with the ball in his hands. Love the timing and delivery on his BLOB passes, waiting for the play to develop before finding the right passing option because he manipulates the on and off-ball defenders well with his eyes. Sturdivant started things off with a good 1-handed flip to his big in transition, timed a pass coming off a high ball screen to the backdoor cutter well, and hit a smooth 3 off the dribble just before the 3Q buzzer to cut the GCS lead to 7. If he can ratchet up the ball pressure at the defensive end of the floor, his impact as a play-maker at the offensive end of the floor will only continue to shine through on a nightly basis.

-Sturdivant gives his team a different look from the guard position as a guy that can create for others with or without a ball screen while also serving as an effective floor-spacer on the wings. He has some wiggle on the ball thanks to an unconventional dribbling style/pace that can make it difficult for his matchup to time steals or cut off his path to the rim. Want to see him use his IQ to make life difficult on ballhandlers by fighting over ball screens and cutting off his man’s path to the rim.
