2025 Draft Profile - Bennett Stirtz

NBA Draft Room - August 8th: "A crafty offensive talent who can play on or off the ball. Can really shoot the ball from deep and has an uncanny ability to get to the mid range."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - June 29th: "Stirtz has some of the best feel for the game I’ve seen for his age in a while and is an extension of McCollum on the floor. He also has the skill to match it, averaging 19.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists while shooting 50/40/79 and playing at one of the country’s slowest paces. Teams are excited to learn more about him throughout the year."

Jermey Woo - ESPN - June 27th: "Instead, Stirtz will follow Ben McCollum, his coach at Drake and Division II Northwest Missouri State before that, to Iowa, where he will have the keys to the offense and a platform to further prove himself in the Big Ten. He's a terrific playmaker who figures to be among the top guards in the country."

Kevin Sweeney - SI - June 27th: "Stirtz is one of the best stories in college basketball, rising from little-known recruit at Division II Northwest Missouri State into one of the sport’s top point guards at Drake. He’ll now follow head coach Ben McCollum again to Iowa, where he’ll have a chance to show his mettle against Big Ten competition."
