did colvin get hurt?

He was in street clothes when I saw him at the practice facility yesterday. No limp or anything like that. I'm sure it is nothing serious but obviously a concern.
It would be nice to see Buck get some time though. Nothing against Colvin, but Buck has always been one of my favorite Cyclones.
I think Buck needs to get some more PT regardless. He showed some promise last year towards the end of the season. I want to see his progression from his freshmen year to sophomore year...the guy has potential.
I would like to see him on the floor a little more also. I think he can help us keep the defense honest offensively b/c he seems to have more range on his jumper than DG but I think his weakness is his defense and that's why we don't see much of him. I've seen him beat off the dribble quite a bit when he's in there.
He's on the same level as the rest of the team... block out, see the ball hit the rim, start running to the other end of the floor and watch the other team go after the ball.
Personally I don't think the PG's job is to hit the boards. On the offensive end he is supposed to be the one back on D to slow down transition (unless he drives to the hoop then it's the guy closest to the top of the key) and on the defensive end he is supposed to go to a clear spot on the floor to get the outlet pass so he can bring the ball up the court. I would probably make a change w/this team though and have all 5 hit the boards on the defensive end since their doesn't seem to be anybody hitting the glass hard the past couple games.
