Title: How did the rookies do in 2017? Are any important cogs for next year
Post by: renocat on June 12, 2018, 02:58:40 AM

Diarra was good and should be able to help much next year.
McGuirl.  I was impressed by him late in the season.  Will take over the attack grunt duties of Wainwright.
Mawein had flashes and could be an important cog in a front line rotation especially with Claws.
Stockard has good fundamentals.
Love and Rattler are projects.

I agree with most of this but I have to ask what grasp of basketball fundamentals (other than being a taller than average person) did Stockard show?

Stockard displayed no fundamentals. He wasn't even good at being taller than everyone.

Stockard was fine. People forget that almost every big that's come through Kansas State as freshman suck ass.

Stockyard was solid in one moment and a panicking fool the next...he was an average freshman. Sophomore year will tell us if he'll be anything more than average.

It’s way tougher being a freshman big in the big 12 vs a freshman guard.
