Nah. As a 6'10 guy that can create his own shot, it's no reason for him to be shooting a paltry ass 40% from the field, 33% from 3 in a low-level conference like the MAC.

That tells me that either he isn't that good of a shooter, which is really bad for a guy that will be a bottom-tier athlete in the league; or his short arms are allowing defenders to regroup for a contest of his shot.

As it stands, he might be a 3-year guy in college.

He's 6'7. Those 6'10 numbers were projections from when he was a freshman in high school and what they thought he'd be. He didn't grow much since then.
I was about to ask as I remember reading from someone in his camp that he’s now 6”9. Although that could completely be cap and get exposed at the combine.

He got measured at Memphis' pro day in 21 and he was 6'9"(he was also 17 then, it's not abnormal for a kid to continue growing at that age). That's where we saw how bad his wingspan and his vert were. It's a safe bet he's at least 6'9", if not 6'10".

Ok. I must have been thinking about the Covid transfer rules. Seems like everyone was moving as they pleased then.
He used his COVID transfer. The next one has to either be a graduate transfer or extenuating circumstances that require a waiver

Why wouldn’t he be able to just enter the transfer portal?
