Not saying it's a knock, but you are clearly undervaluing him. You are talking about a team that didn't even make the big dance. We aren't Kansas filled with 5 star talents. On paper, he is hands down our most talented player, as he was rated one of the top 24 players in the country coming out this year. Kegler and Malik underachieved based on our expectations, but both averaged over 10 points a game their freshmen years. We had 3 people do that this year. I'm not looking up numbers or anything, but I would guess that Mcdonald's All-Americans start 90+% of the time their freshman year. So for us to assume he will be a big piece of our puzzle next year is just logical.
