Impact Garland averaged 20.3 points and 4.6 assists as a junior and earned Third Team All-Mountain West honors. His arrival adds a proven high-usage guard to Georgia Tech's backcourt rotation and should provide an immediate scoring boost. Fantasy managers should note his track record of production as he transitions to ACC competition, even if it's a slight step up in a power conference.
