experienced guard with instant-offense upside
Copeland is a veteran North Carolina A&T guard whose best calling card has long been scoring off the dribble and providing a spark in the backcourt. In the 2018-19 season, team notes described him as an excellent two-way player with instant-offense potential, and his earlier college experience at Middle Tennessee gave him a polished, older-guard feel. He’s the kind of fit teams like because he can create his own shot, compete defensively, and bring maturity and toughness — less flashy, more useful, which is coach-speak for “nice piece to have.”
