(or close to it....his career high was 39). Some here think his playing time would be minimal with the current roster or that the team will be better off without the "distraction", but I disagree. Whether starting or not, he has the talent to be one of the top 4 maybe even top 3 dudes on the roster.

Whoever the current 6th or 7th or 8th man is, I seriously doubt that their ceiling is as high as his. Even if he could just get back to where he was as a freshman, the team would be a much better team with him than without.
