Edmond Sumner entered last season as that rarest of things, a freshman who had already played college ball. Thanks to an injury redshirt after 43 minutes of playing time, Sumner made his freshman debut a season after making his freshman debut. That semantical confusion aside, Sumner also entered the season surrounded by questions. Would his knees hold up? Could he facilitate play? Could he take time away from a possibly more reliable, if less explosive, LAJ?
By the time conference play rolled around, Ed had answered all of those with an emphatic yes. Despite his attempted assassination at Villanova, Sumner had the kind of (second) freshman season that dreams are made of.
