Deserves major kudos for his game plan against Colorado (maintaining a slower pace). The Flashes put on an offensive clinic in the second half, moving the ball around the perimeter and attacking with guard penetration or throwing it into Greene and letting him take it to the basket or kick it out to an open guard.

Liked seeing Greene not trying to force shots when the defense collapsed on him and passing to a wide-open guard. Being able to do that effectively makes him a tougher matchup for opponents and the Flashes much tougher to defend.

Porrini's sort of hybrid of Shaw and Huffman. He has that Shaw-like tenacity on the defensive end and is at his best on offense when driving to the basket. Like Huffman, he's good at making the shot or drawing a foul.

Holt has probably impressed me the most this season. He looks like a completely different player. His development was a big reason why KSU did so well.

Has a little Jay Youngblood in him with the inside-out game.

The player who most drove me crazy. I expected him to have more of defensive presence in the middle, but many times he looked lost on the court or was completely out of position. To Manns' credit, he looked much better at the end of the season, especially on the boards.

I can't wait to see what type of player he develops into.

Really like what I've seen from Henniger, particularly his aggressive play. Not sure what his ultimate contribution will be in the coming seasons, but it'll be fun to watch his development.
