Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 3459498, member: 1609"] Whaley caught a break when Springs was ineligible and he became the de facto backup 5 . 5 isn’t like other positions especially guards where they’re expected to play 30+ minutes. Even your top 5’s rarely get to that because of fouls and fatigue.. So being the backup guaranteed him a min of 10 minutes a game . Thst got his foot in the door and the rest is history. Heck he played thirteen minutes a game as a freshman and had some good defensive moments . For a player with his defensive skills to not play on last years defensive challenged team especially when Yakwe went down., was bizarre but he must have been a screwup in practice. I know he didn’t have a clue offensively and that probably doomed him. [/QUOTE]
