Kid just earned more minutes going forth. Still a bit raw but the athleticism is apparent. He’s easily our best on-ball defender. He’s a good rebounder. Our strongest player, pound for pound. When he back door cuts to the basket. Look out. His FT stroke is decent, just need more confidence from distance. A difference maker this season.

Agree. ^^ In particular, I thought his defense was the most impressive thing he did last night. THAT alone will get you more playing time with Coach McCollum. All in all, it was a very solid first game for any player to have, let alone a freshman.

He’ll turn into a star at Iowa. The body, the athleticism, playing defense, ability to score… he’s gonna be very good!
