I disagree with that take, except for the obvious poor shooting.

He was a decent prospect, IIRC was ranked 2nd or 3rd best prospect in South Carolina coming here and was known to need time to develop, never intended to play significant minutes in his first couple seasons. CMY was forced to play him significant minutes without the time to develop because of player injuries and attrition. He’s athletic, makes athletic plays, has a good handle, has learned to play defense at this level as evidenced by the guarding assignments he has held down. He’s obviously still learning but has done just about everything asked of him other than putting the ball through the basket at a high clip which shouldn’t be his primary role with the other shooters he has around him. He had 7 assists in the Clemson win the other night while limiting Joe Girard who is an elite shooter/scorer.

MJ Collins just isn’t a very good basketball player

Players who are struggling with their shooting help teams other ways

It’s not just about the box score I agree

Watch CMY's presser after game and he'll explain why he gets minutes, esp.

He plays good defense and can help with ball handling. Those are valuable

Was at game. He played his butt off. Pretty simple

Thank you. THIS is the reason.
