I agree with many of these criticisms, but he has made progress. The 3 wasn't "lucky". He shot it with a soft touch, and it went in. Hell, if you want to talk about luck, how about the Asx-Clown bench player from Pitt?l the one with a 3 ppg average who waltzed in and put up 18 pts. on 7-9 shooting. That's just sickening. But KJ has a long way to go learning the defense, gaining strength and confidence on the floor. Yes it's painful to see some of his mistakes but that's always the case with freshmen. Remember, he wasn't recruited to be RFPT from day-1 .. he was supposed to come in and learn for  a year spelling TE for 5-10 mpg.

If you're throwing around criticism, once again TYler Roberson was a net negative out there. Yes I like his potential ... his rebounding, his athleticism. But wow .. 5 rebounds and 2 field goals in 33 minutes? Once again ... for those claiming he's our answer at "PF" .. he got schooled on the glass and made a disproportionately small contribution out there on both ends of the floor. The kid's shot is MIA, along with any offensive confidence. I was amazed he was even guarded away from the basket (and FOULED) by a Pitt player. Must not have read the scouting report.

And of course, our bench -- a pathetic total of 3 points. Pitt got 33 .. on improbable shooting by Jones (6 for 9) and unconscious career-high by Jeter (who played like he was on drugs).

So as much as KJ is struggling, overall I thought he played pretty well for most of his minutes. And he definitely wasn't our biggest problem out there.
