All true, but looks like a player at 6’6”. Utah looks to be underrated a bit. I hope I’m wrong. It’s early

He's an underrated athlete, but not as physical as he should be. He also tends to get a lil crazy w his shot selection.

Not necessarily. They do have 5 teams ranked. That's 2 more than the ACC. It's

He became an inefficient, black hole for a bit in his career. And got some healthy criticism during that phase.
