To be clear I would project Shannon at a higher value than Epps for next season.
But by less of a margin than the difference between them this season, with Epps now having experience under his belt. And I don't think the difference between them this season was quite as night-and-day as is being made out. Shannon was often pretty inefficient, and if he gets graded on a curve because of how often he was put in unfavorable circumstances where he had to make everything happen alone (undeniably true), then why doesn't Epps benefit from the same curve?
A freshman was sloppy, mistake-prone, and not as committed or intense as necessary on defense. What the heck else is new, and since when is that looked at as a permanent problem?
I dunno. We will get answers to these questions at Georgetown, best of luck to the kid.
