Happy for him. we do a lot of education about prescription opiate addiction spilling into illicit use in our sim offerings and I hope this means he has fully recovered and will have a few years left in his tank.
If our offense is going to be somewhat based around a fast guard that drives to the rim a lot, maybe a full-sized backup guard that was (is?) good at doing the same thing wouldn't be a bad idea? Don't have to change up the offense all that much when one comes in for the other...
