That's ridiculously and comprehensively wrong.

I've been a constant critic of Pyne's game. But your statement is delusional. Pyne would certainly beat out Minchey next year. He would very likely beat out Angeli based on any available reports about his progression. (Sure, sophomores who haven't played surprise sometimes. But that's not the norm.) And he should likely currently have the edge on Buchner, given his total lack of both experience and mechanical development. That is the closest of those on the roster. But given how Buchner would be used, he may get hurt again anyway. Every single one of these guys has a lower floor than Pyne. For all his faults, he minimized turnovers and effectively managed the game. His efficiency rating was the best since Clausen.

We should seek out an upgrade in the portal. No doubt. And I certainly hope they can get an upgrade. But Pyne currently is the most reliable backup option from those remaining.
