All 31 games, he only started 16 of them.

This is about needing to play 5 guys on the court at once. That is all it is.
He's not a good shooter - he's a good dunker and lay-up guy (37% Career FT shooter). Won't get many of those in the ACC.

Also keep in mind he is playing at the lowest level of Div 1. The SWAC is ranked as the lowest or 2nd lowest ranked conference his entire college career.

Fans should cheer him on but don't expect any significant contributions from him on the court - his job is to simply take up as many min as possible.
