a defensive wing with real shot-making pop
Willie Conner’s best-known Buffalo years came in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, when he was an all-defense caliber wing who also gave the Bulls needed perimeter scoring—he averaged 11.8 points per game in 2015-16, hit 48 threes in 2016-17, and earned MAC Tournament MVP honors after delivering in big moments.[1][4][14] The appeal is clear: he brings floor spacing, physical wing size, and a reputation as a high-character, team-first player who can change a game on both ends, not just fill a box score.[3] If a roster needs toughness, shooting, and a guy who doesn’t blink under pressure, Conner fits the bill.[3][12]
