You make a fair point most of those guys weren’t expected to carry the team as Freshman/sophomores though.
We had better teams around those guys.
Plus JB played more players.

Nowadays it’s inconsistent the standard in how you get playing time.
For some players they have to be offensive first and defense isn’t held against them.
Others they have to play defense the right way or they sit.

Also not all of the players you listed were developed as sophomores.
Rautins and Nichols weren’t what they were.

Some players get treated differently. We have major talent issue right now. It’s not improving next year.

The staff wasn’t expecting to lose Goodine. We did. That isn’t good.
You can tell a Freshman you are goin to sit one year when their is a Senior like Scoop Jardine in front of you.

Tell a Freshman he is going to sit behind a fellow freshman who isn’t miles better than them and playing time won’t even be there in the future is not going to get patience.

Buddy and Girard are not guys who should be playing superstar minutes.

Towns should look at our program and want to play here. If playing time matters.
The fact we have the playing time advantage and couldn’t seal the deal is not good.

We need a player like Towns next year.
