Four-star point guard Curtis Givens signs with LSU
2024 four-star Montverde Academy (Fla.) point guard Curtis Givens committed to LSU, he announced in October. Now Givens has inked with the Tigers during the early signing period.
The Memphis, Tenn. native chose LSU over Memphis, which had a heavy On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine lead, Indiana, Georgia Tech and others.
“Coach Matt (McMahon) has a history of developing great guards,” Givens told On3’s Joe Tipton. “When he was at Murray State, they had Ja Morant, and they had Cameron Payne. He’s a point guard coach who puts the ball in his point guard’s hands and lets them control the tempo.”
Curtis Givens Scouting Report
On3’s Jamie Shaw identified Givens as a top point guard in the country, which is a part of why On3 has him inside the Top 10 overall point guardprospects nationally.
“Curtis Givens is a skilled and confident lead guard,” he said on his scouting report. “He has smooth three-point range that extends well beyond the arc. While he will need to continue developing his explosion, he can get to his spots, off the bounce, in the half-court, and has good floor vision. Givens is a modern type guard who can score and facilitate. He should track among the top in his class.”
According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, he’s the No. 60 overall prospect in the country and No. 9 point guard nationally. On3 has him even higher, ranking him as the No. 53 overall prospect and No. 8 point guard in the nation.
