    I find it hard to believe that Woodson would discuss how many minutes anybody will play at this stage of the game. I can see him saying there are 5-30 minutes up for grabs, but you gotta earn it. (FKIM01, not aimed at you as you were quoting someone else, just used your post for context)

    I don't think it's that direct. Coach may discuss his plans with a player. What his role may be......then the player can look at the competition and depth at that position.

    From there, the player can reasonably deduce what minutes may look like.

    Like others have said, I’m guessing it’s a combo of him being a Freshman and being on a bad team. I don’t disagree on the upside that he has and am glad to get him as a sophomore. However, I think some are projecting his impact next year to be a little greater than it will be. For fun, Tony Adragna created a minutes projection on his portal page for fans to fill out. Yesterday he had people share their minutes projections on twitter and many had KC between 25-30 minutes per game. Many are slotting in him into the starting line up too. He averaged 25 minutes on a pretty crappy Stanford team last year. 

    IF he truly is capable of getting those minutes and making that big of an impact, then that is a great problem to have. I’m no professional scout, but after watching a few clips (that aren’t highlight films) he does not play great defense and the TO numbers aren’t great. Again, nothing he can’t clean up in his college career, but Woody has a short leash when it comes to defense and turnovers. 

    Overall, good get. Great upside. Keep expectations in check. We still need another shooter or 2.

    If that’s the only explanation, that’d make me nervous. Freshman get better. But his Ortg was 91.7, which would’ve been better than CJ Gunn but worse than XJ last year. I’d have to think there’s a better explanation than that.

    He was a top reccruit, missed several games due to academic issues. 

    He was a freshman point guard on a very bad team, in a power conference.

    His percentages increasingly.got better as the season went on.  If you look at the game logs, you can see steady improvement and he was very good the 2nd half of the season. Including 31 against Washington St and 28 against Arizona, two really good teams.

    Top 50 recruit with high level performance against strong competition, with little support from teammates.  

    It's much more convoluted than looking at season total percentages. 

    He is very very talented and showed growth throughout the season.

    Very high upside.
