[QUOTE="One Man Fast Break, post: 1970157, member: 544656"] Epps didn't make our team worse, we certainly should wish he was still here in a perfect world. I wouldn't compare it to Skyy, Epps was a much bigger loss. He would be a Starter for sure, but he also wouldn't be playing hero ball and needing to shoot 59 % on high volume three attempts (that's not sustainable, fyi) to scrape out wins against KP 285 and 278. The D1 ecosystem is very large, there's lots of room for big scorers on lesser teams to enjoy some success doing that. It'll be interesting to see how his efficiency looks when he's playing in conference competition and not the drudges of D1. While I expect him to still be a very good college player, his decisionmaking makes me question if he will reach the ceiling he could have had. [/QUOTE]
