are far more important.
I mean he's even going to redshirt the next season with plans to play the season after that. He would've done nothing for the team next season.
Yes, his court vision and awareness was fun to watch. He has that elite skill. That's it.
He has no other great skills. He's an atrocious defender, just an average outside shooter and has no quickness and very little athleticism. Sure some of that quickness is injury related, but let's be real, athletically/defensively he's a massive liability in the paint or on the perimeter if a team is trying to draw him out. Unless you're running sets through him, which Pope did here and there, he's virtually useless on the court.
Richie, Dallin and getting a couple other difference makers in the portal are far more important imo.
