[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1679841, member: 623415"] I didn’t see the game, but listened to it in its entirety. Only comments I have are: 1. For those who keep questioning DMW’s value to Illini basketball, please learn there is more to basketball than just scoring. He steps into a role he hasn’t played much if at all, and in 30 minutes he has 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 0 turnovers. Oh yeah, he also scored 4 points including a key put back late in game. Sure we’d all like for him to average 10 or more points a game, but he doesn’t. And those that call for getting him out of the lineup because he doesn’t just don’t have a clue. 2. I’ve never been on the Hutch hype train, preferring a show me first approach, but people need to cut him some slack. Here’s a kid who was playing his third game after missing two years — one of them because of injury — and like DMW he was thrust into a role he hasn’t really played. Unfortunately he didn’t do as well as Williams in this game. I thought he played pretty well against KSU, and feel like he’ll be an important part of several games this year. [/QUOTE]
