Other than CMB, our entire team probably wouldn't be starters anywhere else *

....and it was on Alabama. Now, he comes to us and can't catch the ball.
I’ve desperately waited for Pringle to show something here but he doesn’t look to me to be fully invested. I’m wondering why he came to SC.

I think it's more of a skill issue. The kid is athletic and can make some wow plays and have the occasional standout game. However, he does not catch the ball well in traffic and has poor post footwork. Basketball opportunities flash in the blink of an eye. When the big constantly is fumbling with the ball, you have contested shots that should have been uncontested dunks.

He needs work at the freethrow line. In two very tight games, he missed both of a two shot foul.

Bigs with poor hands are usually poor at the line too. Just another area where it is a skill issue with Pringle.

I didn't understand his portal additions this year. He lost 2 big scorers and replaced them with nothing. A blind man could see how this was going to turn out.
