You think about it, most of us have been following this kid for four years or so. To see him break out against IU was a blast, especially knowing all the history of getting "snubbed" by All-Star voters in the state, etc. If that's a hint of the player that he could be for the next two years we're in a lot better shape than I thought. Hell, a couple days ago I was thinking major transfer risk. We'll see.
When he gets the ball after a defensive board and starts pushing the team up the court it really feels like a different team. Not saying it's what we need all the time but it's a luxury to have that gear. Especially with Basil on one of the wings. For awhile in the first half when we started pulling away and were getting to the rim in the offense and on the break, I'm thinking, "dang, we look like a quick, athletic team out there."
