You should re-check the game logs from last season... I think your memory is way off with that comment.

After starting the first two games last year (and not playing well at all), Buddy was benched.  Jalen was 100% ahead of Buddy in the rotation starting from the UConn game (Nov 15th) up until the Georgia Tech game (Jan 12th).  Buddy was a DNP in both the Ohio St game and the Buffalo game, and essentially got garbage time minutes (5 minutes or less) against Cornell, Georgetown, ODU, Notre Dame and Clemson.

It was the Georgia Tech game where Buddy hit three 3s to sort of keep us in the game (a game in which Jalen played 25 scoreless minutes!), and from that point on Buddy got the PT.  And by the way, Buddy shot 41.3% (36-for-87) from 3-pt range the rest of the way after that Georgia Tech game,  So it's not like he was stinking up the court, and JB stubbornly kept him out there with a 'long leash', as you're implying...

Jalen has gotten more than a fair chance to prove himself, and let's face it - the results simply have not been good.
