this. You have a shooting guard who grew into a power forward overnight and got all clumsy and didn't possess the skills to play power forward.
There is no D1 team in America that he would have legitimately been ready to contribute on this year. His presence is not killing us or putting us in a scholarship bind that we can't dig out of.
He might never play a minute at MU and he might be a big surprise in a couple of years.
