The Pitt basketball team is off to an 8-1 start and while the Panthers have relied largely on the team's stars, Michael Young and Jamel Artis, true freshman Damon Wilson is earning playing time early on.
Wilson's minutes are likely to be limited with starting point guard James Robinson expected to play quite a bit this year. So far however, Robinson hasn't needed to do nearly as much while the team has coasted to several easy wins. Robinson is averaging only about 27 minutes per game so far (well below the 34 he played a game last year) and that's opened the door for Wilson as the true freshman is playing just over 12 minutes per contest.
