Demanding the ball was probably not the right word choice, but I'm sticking with it. Do you think KEA as a freshman would have had the ball in his hands on every possession in the last two minutes? Absolutely. Because he was a leader in every sense of the word from day 1. Doesn't mean he was going to be the one taking the shot, but he was the one who directed the offense and made the big play.

More often than not, Karaban isn't even looking at the rim when he gets the ball. He's looking to move the ball on the perimeter before he even catches it. That's not surprising for a freshman, but that's not a "leader" by any means. By junior year, he's going to be a star in these moments, and we'll understand what his leadership potential actually is.

Our leader is Andre. And the problem with that is when he isn't playing well, we are totally discombobulated. Usually, your leader is someone who can score or make a play in moments when things break down. Andre has great leadership qualities, but his skillset doesn't quite match that.
