Again, entirely possible that things just clicked for Dual this past year and it'll transition smoothly to the ACC, but his first two years when he was playing in the Big East, he averaged 8 points per 40 minutes which is lower than everyone on our team this past season with the exception of Fennell, Zephir, Suoare, and Noah Lobdell. For reference, Kadary was at 12 his freshman year with us, which was his lowest of his 5 years (and by comparison, Dual hit 12.6 this year).

Dual is definitely a pass-first player, which is fine, but I just don't think he was really capable of going anywhere with the ball until he transferred down to the Southland.

But again, Dual came into college as a toolsy project and it's entirely possible that things just finally clicked for him.

Edit: Also, I've said it previously, but I personally yearn for us to return to the days of playing suffocating defense and good enough offense. The beginning to this past season when we were playing our butts off on defense was the first time in forever that I've actually enjoyed watching our games. The idea of having a guy like this at the point of attack on defense is very exciting.
