Awesome. Thought he was a perfect fit for Vermont.

Very cool for Gus.

Averaging 17 pts & 4 rbs-- not too shabby!

Good for Gus! I just watched most of the game. Vermont runs a nice offense with very good spacing, good passing and good shooting. Perfect system for Gus to play in. He is the centerpiece of their offense. He missed their first 3 games and his minutes have been a bit limited but he's played great offensively.

Check out some of his stats - his KenPom ratings are sick.

17.4 points, 3.8 rebs & 2.4 assists in just 20.8 minutes per game

Shooting 67.3% from Field, 57.1% (8-14) from 3

133.3 KP O-Rating
75.0% eFG
33.2% Usage rate (13th in Nation)
36.0% Shot Rate (6th in Nation)
34.0 Assist Rate (62nd in Nation)

Great news. You gotta love Gus

Good for him. I believed he had a chance to be a nice player but he needed some time. Honestly, I thought it would take longer for him to be productive.

The underlying stats that Fishjam posted are staggering.

He actually would have made a nice BE power forward with his offensive ability. His next stop is where he will find himself playing.

Roster coordination was so bad last year and Gus was a part of that.
Roster coordination is so good this year and I’m very happy Gus is not a part of it.
Connectivity, both offensively and defensively has been great this year.
