I'm sure Morman mouthed off at him, or something.

Quality options all the way down the roster, can lead to this from players:

Which makes coach do this. "Please sit on bench."

It's nice to have a deep bench.

Doesn't seem to be able to play a lick of defense yet though.

Effort is there but he appears to have the same issue that our other true bigs have...slow feet. We got spoiled the last few years. I see more press to 2-3 zone D in our immediate future.

I was curious what prompted the shunning of Morman. An attitude problem can and should be quickly resolved. I hope, anyways. He's way too talented and already sat a year.

Therein lies the rub. Guys that are 6'8" and 270 pounds have feet slower than guys 6'7" and 225.

The "defense is easy" crowd will learn to appreciate guys like Titus and Justin while they get their wish for big men that can take up space down low to open up the offense...

Absolutely. Folks are going to have to change their perspective a bit when it comes to post D. These are big dudes. They are going to struggle on switches and quicks are not going to make up for breakdowns elsewhere like it did with Jackson and a Rubles down there. As I alluded, my guess is the coaches are going to change things up to best fit our strengths.

So much to learn. So little time.

Should be a fun (and often frustrating) year for players and fans.
