His stat line reflected that as he averaged 12.2 points, seven rebounds, 2.5 assists while shooting 49.2% from the field. He impacted the game in every way imaginable on the court and is a massive reason why the Huskies hold the best record in the conference.

Fields earned the East Division Defensive Player of the Year award for the third time in his career. The fifth-year guard picked up where he left off in 2020 as a lockdown defender for George Brown. He is the perfect mix of agility, quickness, aggressiveness and toughness that can get under the skin of opposing players. In addition, Fields has a natural ability to force turnovers, as he led the province with 3.1 steals per game. He also chipped in with 8.6 points and 4.1 rebounds during the season.
His intensity and engine never stop, which was a significant catalyst for the Huskies' elite defence this season.
