All he did this season was be a spot shooter and he didn't do that well either.

It's because you are thinking of all the times he was coming in to play the 2. He isn't a SG, and his % was low because he's never played in a catch-and-shoot role before.
At the end of the year, when he actually came to replace Tharpe and not play alongside him, he finally began hitting his stride. All year, he was essentially coming in to provide some shooting spark. The tourney was the first time he came in to run the offense, and he's just better at that than Tharpe is.
Honestly... I have no idea how the rotation will be. If we end up with Turner to replace Embiid, then frankly it's like we are returning the same exact squad.
I just don't see how a junior perry ellis comes off the bench replaced by a freshman who is used to having a healthy dose of 6'5 unathletic centers on his schedule to crush at will.

People love to compare him to Sherron, but Sherron was a FAR better shooter and finisher at the rim. God I loved watching him play.
