ot-Chane Behanan Possibly done with the Ville

[cuseinseattle]

I don't think Behanan is an NBA guy but he is much better than Paul Harris ever was. He is bigger and moves much better and plays defensive at a level that is 3 or 4 times more effective. I find it hard to compare the to outside they are both undersized for their position. I feel like Behanan was going to be a beast after his freshman year but he really hasn't improved that much. It's still one more kid that has experience Ville won't have next year.

He was reinstated today. His indefinite suspension lasted 11 days. Pitino said he changed.

Sounds like Roy at UNC. Amazing how these players "see the light" when the coach oversees the punishment.

"He's changed" ... should be read, "we gave him his token punishment .. but we need our offensive rebounder back before the season starts".

I thought Behannon was going to be a beast last year but IMO he was disappointing after his froshman campaign.

I don't know. We always have problems with him and you could say he was the best player on Louisville in their last two games. He was full on beast mode.

I'm not saying he was bad and his game does set up to rebound againts our zone but I thought he was going to be a consistent 15-9 kind of guy last year, perhaps my impression is from having such high expectations of him.

After the BE final, I remember Pitino saying they literally could not play him against us because he could not finish against our size. Harrell was the one we couldn't handle.

No question Harrell bullied us inside but Behanan was absolutely a major force for them in the tournament, especially towards the end.
