Gonna say it once more. Devin at the 3 is a good move. Buckeyes have interchangeable 1 & 2, and some proven bigs 4 & 5, and now Devin at the 3, which can highlight his scoring ability, plus give him zero responsibility in blocking out, so he can knife to the basket for a rebound. I know some folks would like to have him stay outside to slide back to prevent opponent fast breaks, and I concur, but this is where he needs to learn his way around the position. He can excel as the third scorer, like him hitting mid-range jumpers in the paint, or the 3 from the corner. Should enhance his pro stock....Go Bucks!

Unfortunately he was held to season-lows of 4 points & 1 rebound.

He held himself to the 4 points by standing at the 3 point line. He and Bynum need put on a leash for their own good and the good of the team.

They can excel at mid range and the basket but they selfishly stay out there and shoot. Of course the occasional shot wiill go in if you shoot enough but the ones that don't fall are wasted trips and it leaves the potential best rebounders out of the play. If I'm preaching to the choir I apologize but room for error against really good teams is minuscule enough as it is without making it easier on them.

On the last TO I said he was lazy trying to retrieve the ball. OTOH maybe I misread the situation. I'm just some guy watching on TV.
Then JJ said the exact same thing, basically saying it was inexcusable in that situation. I'm pretty sure he didn't misread what happened. Getting called out for lack of effort on national TV by a tOSU legend was strong.
