There's a whole lot of revisionist history going on regarding Curbelo among our fans at the moment. People acting like folks were just blinded by his flashiness and that's why anyone thought he might be a decent college basketball player. People saying that are idiots, and have simply forgotten that he was really good - no qualifiers - as a true freshman on a 1-seed. Efficient scorer, close to 2 A-TO. He wasn't named the best bench player in the league because he was flashy, he was named that because he was really good.
I have no idea how much the concussion played in, but I do know that once he had the concussion he never looked the same again. I also think our staff handled that situation poorly, including not even taking him out of the game when he got a concussion so bad he missed like 6 weeks of games. I was surprised at the time they didn't take more heat for that.
