Well he was not terrible but have your way. Rebounding aside he improved defensively and you only need to look at the Shocker games to know that you're wrong. He needs to rebound the basketball and anything less than 4.5-5.5 a game is unacceptable if he is to get close to the same minutes. And of course he was one of the worst in the country at the "4" he's not a 4 and certainly shouldn't have been one as a 6'9" 190 lb soph.. He wasn't "bad" last year except at rebounding the ball so yeah there's a nice jump to be had there. If he can get to the basket off the dribble with more authority as well as maybe jump to 40% plus from 3 he will be a nice junior player for us. The reason there's a potential jump, at least from my point of view, is not because he is bad but instead because he was just scraping his potential. Kids a pretty nice athlete for a 6'9" kid who can shoot. Mix the rest of the game which needs to come with maturity as a JR and you have may have something.
