Even if he was given the time Buddy was given as a freshman, it might have made a difference in his development. This idea that old Wrinkley says that he couldn’t hit shots, drive to the basket, etc. is not based in reality. He averaged like 5 mpg in ACC play. That’s not enough consistent playing time to get in a groove as a player. In the games where he got more than 5 minutes, he showed he could make plays. He hit 3s, he made quick drives to the basket. He was also wearing a mask for half of ACC play, and he had a difficult time adjusting to that.
you have 3’s plural. I think he hit one in ACC. I liked his potential. A lot. But he wasn’t going to pass JGlll - an elite shooter (or will be) and might be passed by others. He would have added a lot on D ... if he played but he saw that he wasn’t going to. Hope he excels wherever he lands
