Nick Pringle isn't what any prospective power-house team needs as their starting center

Perfect role off the bench last season as that guy who comes in with energy and athletically dominates an opponent's defensive liability on the other side. Fires everybody up and gives you some quick fouls in limited minutes.

His issue IMO was the lack of maturity to transition that style into a starting role during the offseason (which probably led to some of the suspensions).

To his credit, Clemson obviously knew those weaknesses, decided to go right at him, and he stood his ground and upended their entire gameplan. We just never got that from him for most of the season, unfortunately.
