I would also disagree with the statement that we are better off without him. Only Landers and Cunningham had a better FG% and nobody was even close in blocks.

Yes, he had a ton of fouls. But that is common for a Freshman big. Here is how Kostas compares to some previous Freshman (I didn't look at everyone)

Average minutes per fouls as a Freshman:

Landers: 3
Little: 5.9
Big Steve: 6.4
Kostas: 6.6
Oliver: 7.8
Wright: 9.3

Landers isn't a traditional big and we don't know what would have happened with Big Steve, but everyone on this list improved on their fouls as they got older. Kostas would have as well. Regardless, his fouls were not out of line with what we have seen from our big guys before. Only difference is that we had high expectations for him - which isn't his fault. He still projected as an elite A10 player as an upperclassman - so my opinion is that we would be much better off with him.

Getting him to care about school would have been the issue...
