Player of the week: The deflection king
Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY SportsThis is my least favorite time of year for basketball. Buy games can only hurt the team’s standing, and the pressure is on for every game to be a blowout. However, Chris Beard has to love these last few tune-up games with the young talent on his bench. He is finalizing his rotation, and looking for who can come in and give critical minutes.
This week, one player managed that more than anyone: Kevin McCullar.
McCullar finally looked comfortable on the court. His defensive rotations were crisp, he was aggressive and active with his hands getting lord knows how many deflections, and his offensive game was outstanding.
