Rick Barnes breaks down the addition of Jordan Gainey

Tennessee made a few splashes in the transfer portal this offseason, revamping their roster as a few mainstays of the program exit. The Volunteers, looking for a little more juice on the offensive end, first added Jordan Gainey from USC Upstate. The son of Tennessee assistant coach Justin Gainey brings plenty of outside shooting to the table.

Gainey started 58 of the last 61 games for USC Upstate, averaging nearly 15 points during that span. Most importantly, Gainey connected on over 40 percent of his three-point attempts. As a freshman, he shot a ridiculous 49 percent from deep.
