I can't imagine watching Bidunga and thinking "that guy's more polished than our All-American center who gets doubled or tripled every time he catches the ball."
Hes not polished. But much more than I expected. And he's going to get better, is long and actually a plus athlete. Just wait when he gets better. I'd like to speed that process up so we are the best we can be in March.
Hunter isn't going to get better by playing more minutes. Bidunga will. And Bidunga has a future beyond this year with the program.
The only benefit of not giving Bidunga more minutes is exposing him to the 2025 NBA Draft [Reply]

I could see Flory going in the 1st round next year if he keeps improving. [Reply]

If Flory had played as many minutes as Hunter, at his current production he would also be in a similar position in your beloved Kenpom poy rankings. [Reply]

Flory would foul out by half if he played as regularly as Dickinson [Reply]

Everyone knows Bidunga has a lot of potential. That isn't the issue. You said that Bidunga would be more productive and win more games right now.
Playing him over Dickinson is something Calipari would do. That's how you end up a 2-4 seed in Auburn's bracket instead of the overall 1 seed. [Reply]
