He reminds me of Quinn's ability to get weak side rebounds on the defensive end.
Some of his smart plays this year (like the tap out, which IMO was deliberate) have been Shane-esque.
More often than not he is playing at the end of games and other critical situations.
I guess the problem is that if he starts, who doesn't? DeMarcus? We need his leadership out there, and not starting would be symbolically bad. Lance? He's improving and productive, and hurting his self confidence would be bad. And what does it mean to start in the K system?
He's got to be the best sixth man in the ACC right now. He's doing something RIGHT NOW that makes Duke Basketball Duke Basketball, with a capital B.
