re: Another big pickup for Men’s Basketball

Here’s part of the write up from the athletic that ranked him 99th. UT Martin played at the 7th fastest tempo so per game stats will be inflated. That’s not to say he won’t be good - but expecting him to be a high level player is how you set yourself up for disappointment.

“A small scoring guard, Sears is a two-time first-team All-OVC pick and a two-time All-OVC Tournament player. He’s a big-time shot creator who uses quick-twitch moves to get into the midrange and toward the rim, though I’m skeptical if those skills will translate to the next level. Sears made just 46.7 percent of his shots at the rim, 38 percent of his floaters and only 33 percent of his midrange jumpers, per Synergy, despite playing against the 328th-ranked strength of schedule in the country.”
