I am a big Iowa State fan, so I watch a lot of Big12 bball. Buddy is having an outstanding year. His game has improved in all areas a lot over the last year or two. He has such a good rhythm on his jump shot, when he gets hot, it is lights out. He had 27 on monday in the loss to Iowa State. Everyone sounded happy that they could hold him to 27. His defense has gotten better, he was guarding Niang for a portion of the 2nd half and made things tough on him. He is athletic, has good size and can score literally on anyone.
Draft express has him going to us at #22. Hard to believe he will fall that far. I guess 22 years old is so over the hill in this era that being college player of the year and averaging 26 points a game doesn't mean that much. The same mock draft has Kansas' Diallo going to the bulls at #15. Diallo is averaging 5 points a game as a sub for Bill Self and has played in all of 13 games so far. Interesting comparison.
