A slow start from Kentucky's Skal Labissiere has led to some early panic and criticism. We haven't witnessed what the NBA mock draft boards and recruiting rankings suggested we would. Labissiere, who'd been viewed as a potential top pick in June, has come off the bench to average just 9.2 points and nearly more personal fouls (3.3) than rebounds (3.5) per game.
With the narrative shifted to Labissiere's overrated billing, we've gotten to the point where his mistakes become magnified. No missed shot or rough stretch goes unnoticed.
And maybe it's time we back away.
