Probably just keeping the ball in the seniors hands
Yep, and this game was a microcosm of Key's season. A few jaw-dropping flashes of brilliance where Fran says, "This is an NBA player" followed by stretches of sloppy, casual ballhandling, and blown defensive assignments. To his credit he didn't appear to be pouting on the bench he seemed to be cheering on his guys.He is a great kid and will figure it out, unfortunately it won't all come together for him in a Baylor uniform. Once he develops that "man strength" by his mid 20s he will be a force at the next levelJohnny Bear said:
I'm guessing he had just enough poor decisions and needless turnovers to earn bench time in the 2nd half.

I have to imagine Adam is a great role model for him. Adam doesn't have all the physical tools, but he is mentally tough as hell. You have to think KG sees that and hopefully can learn from it. All hands on deck for March. This team has a chance to cut down the nets if everybody stays healthy.
Drew did it against UCLA and Kansas earlier in the year (I think those were the two games). Keyonte is a really talented kid who can be great when he's playing well and within the flow of the game. But Drew has had no problem rolling with the vets to close out games when Key wasn't doing those things.IowaBear said:
Love's emergence is likely another reason Drew is ok sitting Keyonte for stretches. Not sure Drew does that a month ago. Langston is going to be pivotal these last 3 weeks and heading into post season play. Bench scoring had been a weakness but with him and JTT coming off the bench our bench production is slowly increasing.
