BMK got one more rebound than I did in Maui. I have a soft spot for him, but he needs to do better than .3 boards a gameWhere's rak????????????????????:bang:
The tradeoff for BMK used to be consistently better D. That hasn't been happening, and Rak seems to be more sure-handed than ever offensively. Really sub par game for Baye today - did not need to be guarded offensively, and the Baylor interior scoring started when he came in the game.I'm sure Keita will step up and play big in some games but its so obvious how much better Rak is and when Keita keeps taking minutes from Rak, it's mind numbing.
This surprised me about Coleman as well especially after his much improved play against the Gophers. Tonight Baylor's front line was eating home up on both ends. I want to give this kid every chance possible but it looks like the door might be closing on him .. I hope to heck I'm wrong.I agree about Rak. Should be getting the bulk of the minutes. I just don't understand wth is wrong with Coleman. The rebounding was atrocious. Keita, a senior, should be playing a helluva lot better.
General20 said:Christmas did have much better game than Keita against Baylor, that is why he got 31 minutes and Keita got 9 minutes. Seems like an appropriate distribution of minutes to me. Try to keep in mind that this early in the season all three bigs are going to play, and it is FAR from settled as to which one will be the better option in March. As much as Christmas was the clear best player in this game, Keita was the clear best player against Cal. Boeheim will continue playing all three, developing all three, and giving whoever deserves it the most minutes.
Id like to hear from the pro-Keita group bc while I like him as a person, I've never been fond of his game. I find myself maybe thinking he's worse than he is, but he is straight up getting beasted on early this season. It's it a seniority thing? Conditioning? Why in the world in BMK getting those minutes over Rak?

BMK is getting minutes over Rak at the end because of the built up trust he has from JB. While you may never have been fond of BMK's game, I believe JB has been. BMK has been an integral part of several of the best D's JB has been associated with.Id like to hear from the pro-Keita group bc while I like him as a person, I've never been fond of his game.
