As has now been reported by multiple outlets, sophomore guard Curtis Haywood II will transfer out of the Georgia Tech basketball program.
Can confirm Curtis Haywood is transferring after two seasons. Reported first by @EvanDaniels Played hard, defended well, had some awfully tough luck shooting this season.https://t.co/9H3RC0zyw0

Over two seasons with the Yellow Jackets, Haywood played in 44 games, including 29 this season, and made 26 starts. In the 2018-19 season, he averaged 5.6 points, two assists and 1.2 steals per game. Unfortunately, though, Haywood’s shooting dropped.
After shooting 37 percent on 3-point attempts as a freshman, that number plummeted to 27.6 percent this season. In line with that, his effective shooting rate dropped to 45.9 percent this season (52.4 eFG% in 2017-18).
