Self has already been putting Morningstar on the best scorer the other team has .... what more do you want?
he has defended everything from:
Temple's leading scorer, a jitterbug senior guard who averages 20 ppgs. Morningstar held him to 3 points in first half without fouling.
to
Arizona's lead scorer(until he faced morningstar) 6'7 shooting forward, Chase Budinger. Morninstar held him to 3 points in 30 minutes ... again without fouling. Budinger ending up getting 5 points ... 12 points below his average.
so morningstar defends 5'5" scoring guards to 6'7 shooting forwards and held both down without fouling.
still bitching about morningstar ??
he avg 7.8 ppg and shoots close to 50% from 3pt range ... he doesn't turn the ball over and he can play 30+ minutes each without fouling out even though he draws the top defensive assignments that used to be saved for Brandon Rush.
guess what .... Morningstar didn't even play last year so he is still learning.
