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
 
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.

Lots of really good college players never play in the NBA.

I don’t think we’re expecting Antwan Jamison here.

I’m certainly not.

I’m expecting South of Jason Capel. I hope he doesn’t do that odd movement on his head after making a “3” that Capel did.

4 stops in one college career. Ridiculous. Bring back the one-year sit rule after the first portal transfer... or at the very least 2 portal transfers THEN you gotta sit out a year if you want to portal out anymore.

Agree...and then I think about a good friend of mine who teaches Southern History on the university level. As an undergrad he attended four schools in The South (got his PHD from UT), among them Carolina. He benefitted from all his stops.

I can understand that... and he had to pay tuition at each stop probably. But playing sports - and getting paid NIL along with free tuition, room and board - is a horse of a different smoke - or a smoke of a different color.
