I would disagree about Donnie having a higher ceiling than any of Hurleys guys.  Castle, Klingan, Reed, off the top of my head. Probably Mullens, and I would take Karaban over Donnie 10 times out of 10.

Donnie is a very nice college player, he lacks elite shooting for the stretch 4 he wants to be. Hes not a great finisher at the rim, and lacks aggressiveness, especially the offensive end.   He seems like a good kid.  He was our best player because he’s pretty good at a lot of things, but just not great at anything.   I just don’t think he has that dog in him that a guy with his skill set needs to make at the next level.

One final note.  we flat out lost the BC game because he missed the front end of a one and one with a few seconds on the clock that would’ve given us a four point lead.  In two other games, he had multiple bad turnovers in the last five minutes of the game that contributed significantly to the loss. Had a very bad habit of turning his back his defender and getting stripped by a secondary defender or making a lazy or ill advised  pass for an easy 2 the other way.

If we could keep him, great because he’s a talent. But probably not worth the investment, and White is going to be looking for 25 minutes a game and he and Donnie cannot coexist at that position.
