Coach Stoudamire says: “Amaree had a lot of great moments as a freshman, but what excites me about him is that he was a young freshman. I think Amaree can help take this program to another level, and I think he has a chance to be one of the special players to come through Georgia Tech. He can play pick-and-roll, he can get to the rim. He’s able to pass the ball and make people better. It’s just a matter of being put in a position to be able to do that. He can help us win a lot of games with his ability to do those things.”
