Trent Johnson is a tool for not giving him more playing time last year. I don't care if DP was ready or not, any playing time would have made him even better this year.


So when exactly was he going to work him in the lineup. LSU was a bubble team down the stretch (until the three game skid to end the SEC season) and ahead of DP were Hamilton (NBA Draft pick), O'Bryant (will be drafted), Storm Warren (4th year player) and Malcom White. Were you really going to sit one of these guys in favor of a project when you are in the middle of bubble run in conference?

Don't get me wrong his development has been great to watch. I think he'll at least spend some time overseas the next few years, but he was not ready last year. The best thing for him was practicing against veteran players on a daily basis.

This guy has a great story. I think he was the biggest baby every born in Louisiana or something like that?

Malcom White was horrible. All he could do was foul and dunk real hard when he was wide open. Del Piero was probably better than him last year. Storm Warren was decent but I still think
Big Tuba should have got more playing time. What would it have hurt?
