[QUOTE="Techster, post: 841517, member: 360"] If you look at how Usher ended the season last year, he was one of our best overall players. Usher's value doesn't come from just scoring, he's one of our best players in every category. This year Usher has doubled his rebounding (4.2 vs 9.8), improved his scoring (11.6 vs 13.7), improved his assists (2.8 vs 3.7). His steals rate dropped from 1.6 to 1.0, but the season is still early. Usher defends 1-5 spots, and he creates havoc in passing lanes. He's never going to be the scorer that Devoe is, and Deebo just may already be a better scorer than Usher....but neither player has the "swiss army knife" game that Usher has. Usher is one of those players where if he has an off night on the offensive end, he's going to make it up on the defensive end and on the boards. If we can get the "scoring Usher" of the second half of last season, combined with an improved rebounder he's become this season, you're talking about a guy who has the potential to score 15+ points, and 9+ rebounds, 3+ assists, and 1+ steals a game. That's not including the energy he brings to this team, and the havoc he creates on the defensive end. I'm not super familiar with everyone in the ACC, but it will be interesting to compare Usher's all around game to best players in the ACC. I'm pretty confident Usher is in the top 10 in terms of players with the most versatile all around skillsets. [/QUOTE]
