When that happens, his flaws will become obvious, and it will cost KU.

But having a defender lock down jump shooters is an important asset for a team to have, no? Budinger, for example, has no interest in attacking off the dribble. 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?
