Exactly.  What was the game this year when Brycen came in and grabbed the game by its throat?  You can come up with games when Joe did that... when Quincy did it... when Buddy did it... even Jalen had a "wow" performance at MSG as a freshman.  But Brycen - I don't know, to me he never really had that game or that spurt where I thought "we've got to find ways to get this kid on the floor!"

I think Brycen is a good player - and I probably would have played him more than Jim did.  It seemed like JB never settled on a true "third guard" this year - Howard played back-up point guard, and Brycen played back-up shooting guard.  It would have been better for Brycen if he could have been the primary back-up at both those spots, but he never really showed the ability to run the point when he was in there.  Ultimately, splitting the back-up minutes between two guys instead of just one left them both unhappy.

And I don't blame him for wanting to seek out a better/different opportunity.  I wish him well and am curious to see where he ends up and how good he turns out to be.
