I think he wants to be good. I've been watching him all year, and he's actually shown some good improvement. He's moving more efficiently. His jump shot is tighter and more confident. He's starting to grow into his body. He'll be fine. The situation at SC is hopeless. There isn't enough talent on the floor to win games. They don't have guard who can penetrate and get him the ball. He can't get space to drive, so he has to settle for contested mid-range jumpers or shoot from way deep. They rarely run plays. Anyone who actually goes through the film will see this.
For any prospect, there's the question of what happens when things get harder for them. How do they handle adversity? GG needs to answer that, but the SC situation is just so laughably bad that there's no point over-analyzing it. Last night, GG checked in about 6 minutes into the game and SC had 2 points on the scoreboard. That's it. One bucket. SC was down 20 points at half time. The fact that they're content to lose by 20 most nights and get blown out in the 1st half every 2nd or 3rd game shows that it's not a serious program. GG isn't going to turn that around as one guy on the floor. The fact that SC is acting like there's nothing wrong with their program isn't actually to their credit.
You can see in these clips that GG at least draws two defenders, which gives his teammates a shot at creating something.
