Potentially. I do t Think he is as sure a thing as castle was
Defense will decide that and Hurley demands it at an elite level. No matter what his offensive skills are if he doesn’t bring D at that level his PT would go down. Supposedly he plays D.
 
Freshman are hard to project. Look at the top 10 guys from last year freshman class? Castle did more than meet expectations. He blew them away on defense and certainly met them on offense.

But how many other preseason top 10 guys met expectations?

I don't know how good of a defender this guy will be but I am confident (from what I've seen in recent years) that if this kid is willing to put in the effort. he'll be a better defensive player under Hurley than he would have been under anyone else.

That's just my opinion... you could probably argue either way on a few. Some overperformed, some underperformed, 3 kind of met expectation.
 
Creepy vocab connotation on point! But, you are right. This dude was made to play for this team in this offense.
Yeah watching him in that Jordan Brand game and you hardly knew he was in the game but ended up the leading scorer! Thinking we may see a lot of that next year

I agree, especially with Hurley defense gets you on the court earlier. Having said that unlike recent years, we only have 1 starter coming back.
