4-star PG Curtis Givens commits to LSU
2024 four-star Montverde Academy (Fla.) point guard Curtis Givens committed to LSU, he announced on Saturday. That gives the Tigers a pair of four-star prospects in the recruiting class.
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 40 overall prospects 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. 57 overall prospect in the country and No. 9 point guard nationally. On3 has him even higher, ranking him as the No. 33 overall prospect and No. 4 point guard in the nation.
