I just want to say, folks seem to forget that Peter Kiss averaged 18 mpg (more than Gavin) on our pretty similar caliber 2018-19 team. He averaged 6 ppg on 38.4% shooting and 30.2% from 3 as a sophomore coming in as a proven double digit low major scorer as a frosh (again he was a sophomore - but better numbers 2018-19 than Gavin put up in 2023-24).
The fallacy here is that Peter definitively wasn’t good enough to ever be a key contributor for a high major. He didn’t work out at Rutgers in part because we were flooded with starter caliber major conference guards - JY, Geo, Caleb, Tez and Paul all on that 2019-20 team. Consider what Jalen Miller went on to do compared to Kiss at a low major. Quite a bit different. Super senior Peter Kiss probably would’ve started and been a major scorer on our 2023-24 team. At that point in his career, he was substantially better than the guards we had this past year. I’m thinking the same will be true with Acuff. I don’t care if it’s the MAAC, and yeah, his game definitely has limitations. But averaging 21 ppg on a D1 team is still impressive. How many guys average that in non- conference play? Just saying.
