I think this says it well.  There is a difference between expectations and hope.  Past experience suggests JB will be leaning on BT heavily, especially in close and/or important games.  And it is not necessarily a reflection on Whitehots abilities, but speaks more to opportunity.  Similar to playing time of MCW last year.  Good player but with little opportunity. 
 
JB has been making some changes though.  And Whitehot will be the 3rd guard (instead of MCWs 4th).  So, if things break right, there is hope that Whitehot can be around 20 minutes.  To expect that seems like it would be setting one up for disappointment though.  Whitehot looks to have  long career on the hill, no need to get greedy and hurry it along.
 
Whitehot has shown the capacity to pay his dues.  He will get his turn, the old fashioned way, by being patient and waiting for his time.  And when it's Whitehots senior year and his turn, there will probably be some shiny hot shot frosh that everyone will be clamoring for playing time -and they won't get it.  JB rewards his veteran players with playing time, and if that is part of being "Boeheimed", then the word isn't all bad.
