Nait's season, much like this board's opinions on him, has been quite the roller coaster this year. In the modern age of unrestricted free agency, nothing is a given, but Nait seems like a guy who could be a 4-year starter at point guard, a true unicorn in this era. His 5 assists against UVA moved him to 286 for his career, passing Mfon Udofia (283) and Dennis Scott (285) into 22nd on Tech's all-time leaderboard. He needs 2 more to pass Marcus Georges-Hunt, and 4 more to pass Matt Harpring and Duane Ferrell. If he stays on his current pace and plays all 4 years, he would end up over 600 career assists, putting him in a club with only Drew Barry (724), Travis Best (692), and Craig Neal (659).
If all this plays out, or even if he improves (most guys do as they get older), he could carve out an impressive place in our basketball history.
