I think some skepticism is fair, we don’t really truly know how we will perform until he gets out there. Transfer players from low level colleges often don’t work out. But What has me encouraged and remaining confident he will be better than what we currently have at the position with our older guard is a few things...

He might be short, but in 11 games against good comp, he averaged 8 free throws a game. He gets to the line and knocks them down, that’s huge. So maybe he can’t finish at an elite level, but getting to the line that often is a good sign. He averaged 20 PPG against those teams.

Secondly, he had over a 2/1 assist to turnover ratio in those 11 games against real comp. We aren’t getting that right now. I’m not expecting him to come in and get 20 and 6 per game. But I’m hard pressed to believe he can’t perform at least slightly better than what we’ve seen thus far from our guards. A moderate increase in production from what we have now would help a lot.
