I like kj but he has some bad habits he needs to eliminate.
For me, KJ can't be playing more than reserve/spot minutes in the 2nd half of the season if this team wants to be a championship contender. He's just too flawed overall (and nobody guards him whatsoever on offense which destroys the team's spacing). [Reply]

The problem is the young guys just make too many mistakes right now. At least kj is fairly solid in his play. I really like Ejifor but apparently the coaches don't feel that way. He's hardly gotten any minutes tonight. [Reply]

Well they certainly had no real choice this game, especially as small as Southern Utah is playing and Udeh's inability to guard the perimeter. But playing KJ is hurting us significantly both offensively (teams don't guard him at all and help way off) and on our defensive boards. [Reply]
Wilson is also probably going to win the NPOY at the current ridiculously high usage rate he's being forced into. He's easily going to average over 20 a game. Doubt that's going to change too much as the season goes on either. [Reply]

Wilson, Harris, and Dick were all good.
Zuby and Udeh have a lot of growing to do, but they still present a significantly higher ceiling than Adams.
It has to be a bit of a culture shock for McCullar. That Tech team last year played a sport that barely resembled basketball.
McCullar has been super inefficient offensively. He was that way at Tech, but yeah great defender. We need Rice to step up as another scorer or Udeh. [Reply]
