Okay, but not being able to defend driving players is a major flaw. That's all I've been saying all along.

Of course. But can we agree that Releford will be little more than a defensive specialist in his time at KU? He's not scorer.

No, I don't see how anybody could determine that, considering he's a freshman that only averages about 7 minutes a game...

And we also know that to play defense for a Bill Self team, you have to do it really, really well, or you're not going to play. Now Morningstar has had two seasons (one as a reshirt) to learn how to play Bill Self defense. Releford is still learning, and if all you're going to do is play defense and not contribute offense, it's going to be that much harder to steal minutes from a guy that can score and play defense.

I'm fully confident that Releford could score if given the minutes.

Little... we did see good things, but he's been hurt. Sure, you hope he steals Morningstar's minutes at some point. But he has to find his game legs and, he too, will have to learn Bill Self defense.

I think he'll be fine, and will eventually take a major bulk of Morningstar's minutes.
