Similar situations, outside of the $ involved. In HS all of these guys were recruited to be “the man”. Miller was the star in his class, and was sold on being a go to guy. Then they landed Curbelo, and he was a corner 3 and D guy. A role he had never played. And he better hit every shot when he touches he the ball, or he’s grabbing some bench.
Epps was sold on being the guy in his class. He was going to have the ball in his hands. Then they landed Clark, and Epps was put off the ball. A role he hadn’t played much.
Morez was the big man in this class. He committed a few years ago, and was sold on Illinois developing him as an all around big man. Then less than a year ago, they landed Ivisic, and he became that guy. They were going to run a lot of the offense through him, and Morez needed to be happy dunking, rebounding, and defending. Miss outside of 8 feet, and you are grabbing some bench.
It’s easy to see why these guys get frustrated with their roles. It would be nice to keep some of them around and them. Rodgers, DGL, the list continues.
They aren’t all bad players…far from it.
