Even though he has not played an official game for the Iowa Men's Basketball squad, the hype surrounding Bennett Stirtz is off the charts.
Last season for the Drake Bulldogs, Stirtz led the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in points per game (19.1), steals per game (2.1), and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.86).
He was also second in the MVC in assists per game (5.7), and led the NCAA in minutes per game (39:22).
Before his final season of college eligibility ran out, it was rumored that Stirtz was going to make the jump to the NBA.
