Used sparingly, Kansas freshman forward Silvio De Sousa has yet to distinguish himself in a college basketball game.
At practice, however, De Sousa, a 6-foot-9, 245-pound Angola native, has “shown flashes of being terrific,” KU coach Bill Self said at Thursday’s weekly news conference at Allen Fieldhouse.
De Sousa — he’s been on campus just over a month after graduating from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. — has scored two points with three rebounds, one block, no assists, five turnovers and six fouls while playing 18 total minutes in six games.
He’s apparently been much more productive during daily workouts.
