Kyle Davis is far better than Matthews in terms of team achievement than E.C. Matthews. That is because he is probably the greatest defender in the history of UD Men's hoops. Check out Matthews vs. K. Davis in match-ups. Further, K.Davis has had several moments where he led the offense in clutch game-winning, momentum gaining situations with his drives and scores at the rim. I was in Puerto Rico where he was the reason UD stayed close enough to beat a very good Texas A&M team on a stick back by a former Flyer team mate. Raise your game as a fan and watch both ends of the floor.
I think you go a bit far, particularly when you start pointing to individual games--who's to say it would not have been a 30 point blowout with ECM and no heroics would have been needed?? But, the point is still the same. KD rounds out a team very well and is highly valuable. ECM shoots a lot and scores a lot of points. I think we did just fine with our selection.

Maybe if we get ECM we pick up another player to round out the team with a high defensive motor in another class. You can't cherry pick these things, it's all a balance.
