That article from last October definitely makes him sound like a great player and goes on and on about his great passing claiming he can play the point and his lights out 3pt shooting, then his last season happened and he averaged only 1.8 assists while shooting 28% from 3 despite playing in one of TN's smaller classes. Glad you liked the article though.
My main concern with him is being laterally quick enough to guard the better 2 guards Iowa will face. There are major concerns about this, will he be able to guard the Gary Harris, DeAndre Kane, Caris Levert type of players without being abused on D? Nobody knows but some doubt it, maybe Fleming will prove them all wrong, or maybe he won't and Fran will be forced to play the stupid zone D's that were absolutely abused down the stretch by almost everyone. No one knows what the future holds but I am afraid this will be Fran's downfall if he doesn't start regularly signing better athletes.
