BOULDER — As the Colorado Buffaloes' depth issues have become critical, the roles of players still available have become equally more important.
That includes some of CU's younger players, who may have seen their development come at a slower pace under normal circumstances — but now find themselves playing substantial — and critical — minutes in conference play.
Freshman guard Daylen Kountz fits that category. With key reserves Namon Wright (foot injury) and Deleon Brown (academics) out for the season, Kountz has seen his playing time more than double since the Buffs entered Pac-12 play.
