The 6'5" shooting guard is a great rebounder at his position and can clearly shoot, which should help a Florida team that loses an efficient three-point shooter in senior Justin Leon and Devin Robinson who just turned pro. This team is looking like a heavy favorite now to go deep into March and possibly play the first weekend of April with former Virginia Tech wing man Jalen Hudson now eligible to play as well with the return of Chris Chiozza, KeVaughn Allen, Kevarius Hayes and other important pieces that saw good minutes.
