One thing that I would like to see and, as a season ticket holder, would be the price of admission is the question, "What would Kostas stat line look like if he played 34 minutes in a game"? I think foul trouble has contributed more to his lack of minutes more so than his lack of conditioning. Following are his lines for our first 6 games: Game 1 Ball St.- 16 min. 3pts. 2 reb. with 2 quick fouls! Game 2 Hofstra (his best game to date)- 26 min. 10 pts. on 5-8 shooting, 10 reb. 4 blocks and only 2 fouls! Game 3 Ohio U- 13min. 4 pts. 3 blocks, 2 fouls. Game 4 Old Dominion- 15 min. 2 pts. 2 fouls. Game 5 Akron (with Xeyrius out with back spasms)- 23 min. 12 pts. on 5-6 shooting, 3 reb. and 4 fouls. Game 6- Auburn- 21min. (mostly all in second half) 3 pts. 0 reb. 2 blocks with 2 fouls in a 28 second span at beginning of game and 3 total because he played tentative.
It took Kendall Pollard 4 years to figure it out that he can not help his team if he is constantly on the bench sitting because of two quick fouls! When he was on the floor he was a game changer! I hope it doesn't take Kostas near as long to figure it out!
