Dain was really good last year when you consider he was essentially a freshman. How many freshmen big men have as smooth of an offensive game as Dain showed last season. His big issues were defense and conditioning, and it sounds like he’s working on those in the offseason, especially the latter.
By comparison, Zach Edey was a non-factor his freshman year, showed promise while splitting time as a sophomore and blossomed as a junior. Each player is different, of course, but by those metrics, Dain is way ahead of schedule.
