Buddy has had a really interesting freshman season.  He got off to a poor start but found his groove around the time conference play began, when the opposition got markedly tougher, and thrived from that point forward.

Check out his stats in conference play.  They are impressive:

2P%: .560
3P%: .407

That would make give him the 3rd best 2P% in the conference, only behind Zion and Elijah Thomas of Clemson.  That is an extraordinary percentage for a guard.

His 3P% would be good for 3rd best in the ACC, behind Cam Johnson and Kyle Guy.  The thing that is scary is that as time goes on, his percentages keep going higher and higher.

He only played 16.3 mpg in conference play, which was probably too little.  Let’s assume he doubles that to  32.6 mpg next season, which is pretty conservative, doesn’t improve at all and gets no bump from playing weaker competition out of conference.  If you do that, Buddy’s projected averages per game next year would be 15.2 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 1.2 spg and 1.4 apg.

We almost surely lose both starting guards.  Anyone who thinks Buddy is not going to start, with this level of production, is kind of insane.  Buddy is destined to break a lot of records during his career here.  Who would have thunk it?
