After his first season on campus was hampered by a broken foot, Donte DiVincenzo was set to have a small yet important role coming off the bench behind Mikal Bridges and Eric Paschall. But then Phil Booth’s injury happened, and DiVincenzo became the team’s 6th man and the only other “point guard” after Jalen Brunson.
While there were some growing pains around decision making, handle, and confidence, the additional playing time did wonders for DiVincenzo’s game. By the end of the season, he had become one of the team’s best scoring options and was on the court in most close game situations.
