Sure, and I'll admit he's better than that than I thought, but there are players in the Big 12 that are very capable of attacking him, and they will do so.

Budinger, for example, has no interest in attacking off the dribble.

A perfect opponent for Morningstar.

I'll agree Morningstar is slow and not athletic, but he is a tenacious defender who doesn't take possessions off. So isn't it smart to put him on guys like Budinger -- Morningstar didn't fall asleep and let him get free points?

Better than putting anybody else on him I suppose, but it would be really great for the team's sake if somebody like Releford or Little (I saw good things yesterday) could develop into a good defensive player at some point this season.
Morningstar being the primary defender will hurt KU agaisnt the better, well-coached teams.
