if you don't fit the system, dont like the coach, dont like your teammates, dont like the school/city etc etc...a lot to consider besides just getting playing time...

Right. Except in many cases, basketball is the reason for the transfer.

This kid is an example of the foolishness of the transfer portal and doing away with the one-year sit-out rule.
