No, he is not the tallest, or the fastest, or the best shooter, etc., but he is above average at everything; and what "he has" you cannot completely teach, coach, or recruit it. He had a very odd game last night, I give you that; but he does so much that is not recorded in stats. He has a "Charlie Hustle" element to him, that every successful team needs a little of. Kyle Davis wasn't a lot of things either, but for sure UD would not have been the same without him. I would suggest to you that Landers is now that player.
And, keep in mind, he was out for two games prior to Auburn game.

Right on BTC. In the three games Landers has played, he's averaged 10 pts, and 6 RB's. Hustles on D, and seems to always be around the ball. He doesn't need to be the star, but there's a role for a player with this level on contribution. Not too bad for a kid that basically played zip last year.
Any by the way, let's get more shots for Jordan Davis. He can ball.
