Agreed. We probably lost him.

How do those two relate to Kasongo?
It was the big 12 tourney final vs WVU, our starters were on the bench and they were making a run and he just ran past their bigs and took it to the hoop.Hopefully, he showed some flashes of confidence and what he can do when he nailed a three in one of those games last season, I can't remember which game it was, but that was good and encouraging to see.

You are absolutely correct; and no one will be asking DJ or Wigginton to post up. But not that long ago we had Royce White bringing the ball up the court and Deandre Kane occasionally posting up. Cyclone basketball: embrace ingenuity, baby!

He hit two pull up deep ones against TCU. It was garbage time, but I think that showed that it's there when he is just playing without worrying. That's going to be the key with him. Just get him to play and I think he'll be fine. Like maybe Chris Babb fine. He just has to be willing to go out and play.
Yeah, with all due credit to the starters, there were several times last year where Babb and Jackson came in and helped to kick start a run.

I have many takes on the guards next year but the one I like is DJ being a dark horse B12 POY candidate depending on the surrounding cast. I think he has that scoring ability and I think he can do some facilitating but he needs shooters, I think, to be prolific enough.
The other is Darius McNeil being the non-post off the bench by conference play.

I agree, and don't think that should be someting that should get blasted. That is what you want/need out of your starters. Basketball is a game of momentum, and your starters aren't always going to bring the momentum to start the game, for one reason or another. Having guys who're itching to get off the benc hand show they can help the team, are the type of guys you need on your team. It is actually One of the reasons I like Beverly so much.I've been wanting to post something similar but was afraid to get blasted. Kudos.

Babb did a a lot of really good things this year that didn't show up on the stat sheet. He knew his role and I expect to see him look like a completely different player next year.
Tyrus is my prototypical 6 man. I will always associate that role with Tyrus McGee. At any level.Tyrus McGee anyone? I'm pretty sure he was the 6th man who LOVED being the 6th man. When we really needed a run and the starters were a little bogged down...bring him in off the bench. Hit a couple big shots and boom...a rally is born.
My memory is a little foggy but I'm pretty sure it was McGee that I remember all the conversations/interviews around him working his way into a starter roll but he actually loved coming in as the spark off the bench. I could be wrong tho...
Gonna go with my usual... signing at 5:15 in the 515.
I was wrong, FWIW.

And I think you are correct, that he played his way into a starting role, but was kept at the 6-man spot because he was the spark we needed/he liked being off the bench.
