His impact was greatly reduced vs UCLA when they pulled him away from the basket and thrived on open midrange jumpers that they shot extremely well.

This year's roster is far better suited to defend the UCLA's of the world but won't be able to clog the middle vs teams that are not like UCLA. Definitely a trade-off but ultimately the ceiling is much higher for 2021-22 team as a result.

Averrette's shooting will probably be missed. Not sure the newcomers will shoot 35+% like he did from 3. 35% isn't a high bar for a PG but that's an area the transfers seem to struggle with. Maybe they show similar improvement to Averrette over the course of the season in that regard.
