Picked 7th pre-season Sun Belt behind 2nd team selections Anochili-Killen and Kamdyn Curfman. Much improved in Sun Belt games…shooting .368 from 3 (vs .299 for opponents) with and A/TO =of 1.54 behind Anochili-Killen at 20.2 pts/g. Selfless, wide open on offense with great length but with streaks of defensive lapse. Take 24.3 3s/game (make 7.7). Main snipers are Curfman (153/216 FG attempts are 3s) and Connor (59/108).
