After Monday’s announcement of Yankuba Sima and Tavarius Shine’s transfer, redshirt sophomore guard Michael Weathers will bear some heavy weight on his shoulders… and that appears to be a good thing.
Weathers’ tools and his potentially super-elite functional athleticism were covered above. He is not too small for the league, and, raw explosiveness-wise (where the above GIF comes into play), he is easily a few notches above guys like Markelle Fultz, Jawun Evans, Monte Morris, and so on; he is probably below Dennis Smith and De’Aaron Fox in that regard, but that is not remotely a slight against him.
