Standing at 6-3, Stirtz took on a lion’s share of the workload running Iowa’s offense last season by averaging over 37 minutes per game, but that’s a quality that’s stayed consistent since his time at Drake as well. But Stirtz had no trouble staying productive despite that constant stamina test with 19.8 points and 4.4 assists per game while connecting on long-range shots at a nearly 36% clip. As a floor general, Stirtz helped lead Iowa to an Elite Eight run last season and dissected opposing defenses along the way, though his patented quick-release three-point shot faltered during March Madness. Still, Stirtz’s body of work shows that he’s one of the more steady perimeter shooters in the draft, so he’s likely to receive some consideration from a Pistons team that covets both ball handling and three-point range.
