Hence the reason I said "YET". I think both Richards and Thomas looked lost in their few minutes last night. I think Butts is more polished and D-1 ready now, but may not have the upside of Thomas or Richards. Thomas to be honest does not look like he as a D-1 body right now, he needs to hit the weight room. I think they will both be fine, they just need more time to do so and more game experience. Butts' just looks more D1 ready.
Just my opinion. I hope I am wrong about Thomas and Richards. But at one point on defense I saw Thomas lost on who to guard and where to go on a screen switch.
Thomas has 0 steals on the season according to the stats. Between the two of them they have 1 rebound and two made baskets, both by Richards in 2 games, 1 steal (Richards) 1 assist (Richards) 2 Turnovers (1 each), Granted Thomas did not play vs Baylor.
Meanwhile Butts had 2 steals last night vs UNO.
Believe it or not the team is shooting 46% on the season (Granted Awkuba is carrying the team with a team leading 83.3% from the field), where we are horrendous is from 3 point land, where we are shooting a total of 23%.
And most of that is Mylik Wilson who is 1-7 and Gueye who is 0-4. As bad as Russell has looked he is actually 5-16 or 31% on the season, which is not as bad as I thought. I would have assumed he was around the 25 or lower %
