Isaac Trotter of 247Sports said, "The light flickered on for Silas in early February and only a few guards in the SEC played better than him."
At 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds, Silas shows both size and skill. His size makes him a strong defender. His ability to score challenges opponents. He helped Georgia’s defense rank just outside the top 30 nationally. He also impressed at the free-throw line. He attempted 4.8 free throws per game. This stat shows his skill in drawing fouls and his confidence when attacking the basket.
