25. Brenton Scott

A 6’1 guard from Fort Wayne, Indiana, Scott had a decent run of success in his home state. He landed at Indiana State in 2014 and became an important piece for the Sycamores, becoming a starting guard for most of his collegiate career while putting up nice numbers.

Scott’s freshman season saw him average 11.4 points and certainly get his career started on the right foot, with Indiana State finishing 3rd in league play. Unfortunately, the Sycamores would finish under .500 in each of Scott’s four seasons. However, he’d average at last 14 points a game in each of his final three seasons and was one of the league’s best 3-point shooters. His most notable season was his third, averaging 15.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

That fantastic start earned him MVC Rookie of the Year honors in 2015 and he was named All-MVC in each of his next three seasons. Despite Indiana State’s position in the league during those seasons, he was still one of the conference’s top scorers and led the conference in steals during his senior year. There was a lot to like about Scott’s game and his contributions; it’s just a shame the Sycamores weren’t more fortuitous as a team.
