I'm not sure anyone thought we were getting Devo like driving ability out of TC.  That's pretty high expectations - at least when it comes to finishing.  Devo could finish with the left and right hand like nobody's business.  He was unusually adept with his left - even as a Frosh his left hand was crazy.

I think the expectations were more that he would be a great shooter.  Someone that could come off curls like Andy, and be more consistent over time as a spot-up guy.  The roster did him no favors at time though, and he's been forced into a larger role.  I think the surprise was that there was no secondary skill set that developed.  People have mentioned Rautins a few times, but if you took the shot away from Rautins, he was a great passer, good vision, by his fourth year was good off the bounce.  We never saw a similar development with TC.  I'm still not sure if you overplay him how he can hurt you.  He just runs in circles drawing his defender around with him - but we can't exploit that overplay.  Most guards we have had have found other ways to contribute offensively.
