I'm not sure what the deal is with Duling. He actually did get in in the first half around the time he usually goes in. Then Alcorn scored on back to back possessions and he was benched until late in the second half. I think it's his defense that's getting him in the dog house. He sometimes gets lost on rotations and often leaves his man to challenge someone else's man's shots leaving the boards open. Honestly, I've thought he's looked really under control and solid on offense this year.

I agree that his lack of playing time is pretty odd though. I think we've seen plenty of players that we're glaringly worse than him on defense with much longer leashes over the years. Goodson comes to mind. The one thing I know for sure. This team won't realize it's potential with Duling out of the rotation.

Worth noting Harris finally saw significant playing time today and played pretty well. I thought it was odd that he wasn't able to crack the rotation in the first 3 games.
