Fact is though, with Preston and Price redshirting, we only have 11 available and Zach and Brendon aren't playing much. It's no secret I'm a Newton fan, and I really believe if he can keep making FTs the way he did tonight, he will start to get more meaningful minutes.
He could be an Austin Smith type guy. It may not happen this year, but by next year everything could click and he comes out of nowhere.

I think Newton has potential but I am so glad this coaching staff hasn't pushed him too quickly. I guess time will soon tell.

He has gotten fouled almost every game hes been in the last 2 or 3 minutes only. He can impact the game for us. Not sure if its next year or following year but he has shown enough progress that i think at worst case he can be a nice rotational piece. Ceiling is still hard to project but i certainly think hes going to have a better career than monroe or mcmasters.

I would agree with that.

I've said all along I didn't think he'd have a real impact til his junior year. Anything before that is gravy for me.
