Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

[Heelsandeers]

What do you mean by playmaker? Was he much of a playmaker last yr? He didn't create his own shot other than an occasional fallaway (which were mixed in terms of success). Most other shots were spot-up catch and shoot... not from handoffs, not off dribble, not coming off screens. Most of his slashing buckets were off-ball, assisted.
He was a nice passer in transition in terms of decision, touch and vision... so he certainly has potential, but he has some stuff to prove in a half-court offense to be called a playmaker IMO.

I was projecting improvements and roles based on who's currently on the roster

The offense will look nothing like last year, for various reasons

That’s kinda cool. He got to do a tour of the US college basketball scene.

Too bad Utah is now in the Big 12 or he’d have played in 4 different conferences.

He scored 6 ppg and grabbed 7 rpg last year for a tournament team. I suspect that he could have helped us had he stayed.

That's just ridiculous.

Did he ever quit turning the ball over so much?

Claude would have probably put up better numbers playing for Akron.

Or James Brown.
