Elmore may be good someday but I didn't see much last year (granted he didn't play much). He didn't seem quick enough on defense and didn't hit shots from outside. I hope he improves a ton...with confidence maybe he can contribute. I'd love to see him take Marcus Bryan's minutes!

My contention with Elmore is that coming from a rural 2A high school that didn't play against very good HS competition, then transitioning to D1 college basketball where the game speeds up a lot (a huge jump by itself), and on top of that adjusting to a style of play that is super fast even by D1 standards and is built for 4 perimeter players and one athletic big man who can really run the floor...was going to look somewhat lost, bewildered and overmatched. I saw enough on his highlights before he came to UNCW to think he was going to be a guy that would really help us....reasonably athletic for his size with a few post moves and could definitely shoot. I think he will absolutely contribute this year, and could become a really good player down the road.

Let's not forget Elmore played on both the Under Armour and Adidas Circuits. This link has him with some darn good competition. http://www.slamonline.com/college-hs/hig...PyipigC.97
