The crazy thing about his decision to transfer was the prospective PT that was open the next season.  We went through 1996-1997 season [hard to believe it was 20 years ago] really struggling, and generally unable to put the ball in the basket.  Jason Hart was a frosh without a super tight handle, and he struggled a bit running the show, and the results trickled down from there.

Lloyd was too fat--just wasn't in the kind of shape he needed to be in to play at this level. I think he got by in HS by being physically dominant / stronger than the competition, but couldn't just muscle his way at the collegiate level.

BUT after riding the pine most of the year, he had a big scoring outing or two toward the end of the season.  The starting SG spot was there for the taking the next year [Janulis ultimately ended up starting].  He'd already endured the difficult season where he wasn't part of the rotation and had to learn what JB required--he should have come back and worked to earn that starting role, and he would have played a to--either as a starter or the sixth man.

Instead, he transferred.  I believe he followed Wayne Morgan to Long Beach State, and ended up having a decent career there.  I think we played them four years later, when he was a fifth  year senior.
