He started a lot as a freshmen last year on a team that went to the final four so he is not that terrible.
Ah, the old "the team did good so every player on it has to be so good" argument. I'm not buying it. In the NCAA tournament he averaged about 16 minutes a game, went 2-10 from the field and 5-9 at the FT line. His totals in the 5 games were 9 points, 10 assists, 11 turnovers, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, and 11 fouls. He also was not good defensively.
MSU won in spite of him, not because of him. Leaning on him even more next year is not going to be good for them.
