By last season’s end, Dylan Painter was collecting his rotational minutes as a particularly clutch forward, coming in and providing much-needed size up front. With Darryl Reynolds passing the torch, Painter and Omari Spellman will both have the potential to act as a one-two punch in the frontcourt that is experienced in Jay Wright’s system. With Painter’s size, he appears as a traditional ‘5’ man solely on his looks.
Painter’s main goal this season is to prove the potential Wright saw in him last year, as he showed an ability to get the job done while Reynolds was out with his rib injury.
