When Hall gets back (nice interview-bomb on Dawson Baker, Shot Maker) — he & Baker are gonna give us two very different looks of guys who both fulfill that role.

And then there's the pure versatility that Richie, Mag & Catchings bring to the table.

The thing we can probably most thank Queens for last night is exposing the vulnerability of Egor's handles. That was almost entirely thanx to their long, athletic wing Jabriel.

If I'm KY, I think my practice & scrimmage protocol for the rest of the season is to alternately run Richie, Mag AND Catchings hard at Deming. Give him a variety of stifling defensive resistance.

I think we saw last night that in the present — Egor Demin will definitely have some struggles in Big 12 play with ball handling (& consequently with play-making). Hopefully we can get that fixed over the next month.
