RJ Melendez will be looking for a new home this offseason.

A season that started with a lot of hype around Melendez quickly fizzled out due to poor offensive play from the sophomore guard.
Melendez finished the season shooting 24-of-91 from three for a poor 26.4% from behind the arc.
He started the first 10 games of the season but after severe offensive woes, Melendez only started one of the next 14 games.
