I would prefer one of the young guys step up and take Lucas's spot. However, right now he's the guy doing all the right things. He's a decent defender not counting his putrid block shot stats, he rebounds, sets good screens (not illegal ones like Traylor does every game), and is a decent FT shooter. He's not a great athlete by any means, at least not compared to the other players on a team like Kansas. Yes, he missed too many bunnies and that is frustrating. But right now he is the player that Self can rely on to not make too many mistakes out there.
The thing that drives me nuts is Traylor getting minutes over Diallo and especially Bragg. Okay, we have been over the argument on Diallo making too many mistakes. Fine, but Bragg should be getting many more minutes that Traylor. When Jamari is out there he will make good hustle plays and then turn right around and make a bone headed play. The guy is a red shirt senior and yet he still plays very inconsistent basketball as if he were a freshman.
