I know this is only a prediction,  but it seems to have some gravitas to it. Would be a good get for DA to fill in the last needed piece in the backcourt.

 

Prediction: South Carolina's leading scorer Jermaine Couisnard to choose Oregon Ducks - Scorebook Live

NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM

---

South Carolina junior Jermaine Couisnard is nearing a decision. The 6-foot-4, 211-pound...

 

Quick glance at his stats compared to the 21-22 Duck's would put him at tenth in FG %, 4th in 3pt % and tied for 4th in FT %.  According to ESPN he shot 39.6% from the field, the entire Oregon team averaged 45.1.  What am I missing that makes him more than a warm body?

Agreed that his numbers don't pop out at you but DA and his new assistant coach must see something there. The article remarked on his improved output late in the year. He is a bigger guard at 6'4"  211# and on tape is pretty physical without getting into foul trouble very often. And comparing a guard's FG% to overall team % is a bit apples to oranges as post players will bring the overall number up above that when compared only to the backcourt.

True, but 39% is just flat out bad.  Yikes!  

This one is a head scratcher for sure.  Hopefully he shoots it a little better next year.  It sounds like he was coming on a little at the end of the year, so lets hope that continues.
