Individual Player Recap: Sam Japhet-Mathias

Sam Japhet-Mathias is listed at 6’11” and 280 lbs. He was third on the depth-chart among true post players this year (no disrespect to Mitoglou, who made huge strides in his post game). His 4.1 minutes per game trailed John Collins (26.6 mpg) and Doral Moore (8.3 mpg). Additionally, he only played in 17 games, compared to all 33 for Collins and 31 for Moore.

Of course, a big part of this allocation was undoubtedly JC’s dominance (particularly on the offensive end). Since JC was such a big part of the offense, it was difficult for Danny Manning to take him off the court except in the event of foul trouble.
