Message: [QUOTE="Horn88, post: 3319458, member: 7087"] The year Louisville won Hancock averaged more assists and rebounds per game than Buddy did this year and Hancock played 10 less minutes a game. Also, Hancock was playing with guys like Russ and Siva who were the primary playmakers and Dieng, Harrell, and Behanan who rebounded at a much higher rate than anyone on our roster that limited his opportunity for both stats. Buddy is incredibly one dimensional in terms of what he can contribute and reality is he finished 21st in the conference at that one skill so tough to justify how he still played 35+ mpg. Also, I don't know if he'd be able to play on a top 25 team, let alone contender, that didn't play zone. In any high level game he'd be hunted on the defensive end in man and attacked pretty much everytime down. Tough to keep that type of player in the game if they aren't giving you much anywhere else.
