Paul is an interesting player. There is a lot to like. Jersey kid who is a nice guy and extremely competitive. Chose Rutgers when he had other "better" options. He has size and vision and is an excellent passer. Gave Cliff plenty of dunks. Nice footwork in the post. Underrated spot up 3 point shooter. If he put it together like the stretch starting NW the season before last, he would be a true weapon
He has a lot not to like as well. He over dribbles with his back to the basket and slows down the offense. He over helps on defense and gets caught along with not having the best foot speed for one on one perimeter defense. He's too reluctant to shoot which hurts the offense. Paul also has had issues on the court controlling his emotions with the refs and some questionable and blatantly dirty plays like the TJD embarrassment where he lost his cool
I was kind of torn after the season if it might be best that Paul moved on. I didnt really have a strong opinion either way. Could have been good for both parties if we replaced him with more athleticism and speed and went a different direction at PG... part of me thought if he does put it all together and is fully healthy, he could have a strong bounce back season...
But this late in the year Paul leaving screws us bigtime no matter whether you loved Paul or wanted him gone, especially with Cam leaving late too
