Meh. Depth for us in basketball is probably similar to football. We need our main guys to stay healthy. I don't worry about guys getting "tired" either.

seems incredibly unlikely to have all four guys be healthy the whole year, but i will give you that if they somehow do manage to avoid missing any time with one of the 4 guys to injury this team can be good.

How many teams can lose one of their top 2-4 players for a long time and be good? Maybe 1 or 2 in our league? If OU lost Young they would be done.

Nice indirect Mark Young reference...

There is a reason the committee explicitly considers injuries to key players during the season.

Do you watch basketball? Since I'm guessing it only extends to K-State games, think of the best 20 K-State players of the last decade, how many of them missed extended time with an injury? I got Bill Walker, anyone else?

DJamer missed an entire year

Deathbite missed significant time as a freshman. Wade definitely had minutes reduced because of a foot injury last season. (Not sure if they are top twenty players, but this seems relevant).

Wade probably is, not sure about Killa Kam and DJamer as much as I love them. Anyway, it's a lot less likely that any of those dudes would get injured than it actually happening which was fan's point. I feel like I've been reading his point about depth every year for a decade, changed my mind about it a while ago.

Sure, injuries are a risk, but depth in basketball is overrated. I wish we would have a big or two give us some capable minutes now and then, but I don't worry about the core 4 getting "tired" as the season goes along. I think Wainright and Diarra are solid, we just need Mawein and one other guy to show that they can play a little bit.

There's also foul trouble

We got 66 minutes from our bench in a blowout win at Hilton. I'd say our bench is deep and fabulous.

That's a fair point.

I think Mawien has shown he can play a little. Will the refs let him play a little? Will we get the same calls against Konate pushing to establishh position that Mawien got against ISU.

injuries are such a small part of college basketball you might as well just bitch about the refs like a normal person.

The atrocity that is cbb officiating is infinitely more impactful on the outcome of games than injuries

No one is bitching about injuries but don't let that stop you from continuing to rack up a long streak of shitty posts
