Huh? Plummer was the transfer being called an elite shooter. I’d say he lived up to it.
Payne has never attempted a 3 & never made 60% of his free throws. You don’t need advanced stats to see he isn’t a shooter.
“He’s elite at getting to the rim,” Underwood said. “He’s as quick-twitch of an athlete as we’ve had, but I’ve been very impressed.” "(Payne's) got a very good 15-17 foot jump shot. ... (It's) something that is a great addition for us," Underwood said. "They're going to play together some. There's no doubt. And (Payne) can guard anybody. He literally can guard point guards and (centers). He's got great, great quickness. He's got that great 7-5 wingspan.
Here's a couple quick quotes I found easily. What I'm remembering is from a radio interview so I can't prove it, but the word elite just rolls off of Underwood's tongue. Doubt it if you like.
Now if you want to talk about Plummer we can. He was "elite, elite" iirc.
