Latest Fantasy Rumors
Remarkably turnover-averse
GFree Agent
April 1, 2024
Garrett compiled a 3.04 assist-to-turnover ratio across his final 33 contests with the Greensboro Swarm, finishing with 137 assists versus just 45 turnovers over that span.
ANALYSIS Garrett's ability to protect the rock and initiate offense helped stabilize Greensboro, although hitting just 34.1 percent of his threes contributed to the Swarm tying for the worst effective field-goal percentage in the G League this season. Garrett's defensive intensity and reliable ballhandling likely solidifies his standing as a bonafide G League rotation option, although next year marking his age-26 campaign could sap upside from NBA opportunities.
