The good news? Hagins can improve

Josh Hagins was our most explosive scorer last season, able to put up a lot of points in a hurry in different ways. The good news is that even after two years in the league he still has lots of room for improvement on the offensive end. First, he can get to the foul line more. He played 830 minutes last year compared to 672 for Ben Dillard, and yet Ben shot half again as many free throws as Josh. Also, he can be much more efficient offensively. Last year he shot 334 times compared to 126 for Ben Dillard (2.65 times as many attempts), and yet he scored 12.3 ppg compard to 7.4 for Ben (1.66 times as much). Third, there is room for improvement in his 3-point shooting. He averaged 35.4% last year, which certainly is acceptable, but I am far from thinking that that is the best he can do.

I think Josh Hagins has a lot more topside potential. There is no telling how good he can be.
