Losing Adonys is going to hurt. He was going to be a valuable component next year. I would describe him as a solid starter, not necessarily a super star. His scoring was deceptively quiet. You would look up at the end of the game and be surprised to find he had 12 to 18 points. He had a very good 3-point shot.
That said, I always wanted him to be assertive and do more. I always hoped to see him drive more, or drive and pull up for a two pointer. Make his own shots instead of drifting the perimeter of the three-point line looking to spot up. (we had a whole team full of spot up shooters last year, which is one reason why the offense stalled in some many first halves when the first couple of outside shots missed).
I don't know where he is going, or why he's leaving. I wish him well, but I'm baffled.
And, I don't get the criticism of McBride. The guy played about 20 minutes a game this year. Except for a small stretch late in the season (when I think something was clearly wrong health wise), he got up and down the court pretty well for a big man. He has great, soft hands. He knows how to position himself well. If anybody on this squad knew how to pass the ball into the center, he'd score close to 20 points a game.
