Well what I meant was within reason would be a scenario where say he suffers a high ankle sprain in December or January. He is only cleared by the docs to play the last 2-3 games of the season where the season is already pretty much over. I would not fault any player with even the slightest professional potential sitting out in that scenario.
So I is always more important than team? Sounds a lot like "push the women and children out of the lifeboat and make room for me." That's precisely why teams fall apart. Selfish. Period.
Rootmaster my teammate.
I will be over in a hour. Tell the old lady to put on that dress I like.
Can't be selfish. I is not more important than the team.

None of that matters. Huggins recruited him, headaches come with the talent. Teams force out players who dont perform, I guess the argeement you keep flapping about is one-sided.
In 2017 Sags excited the entire fan base. He was headed to being one of the all time great WVU big guys, and fans loved him. Enter 2018 and it was painfully obvious that Sags was modeling his game after what the NBA scouts told him instead of the actual plays his coach called. That was pretty much it for me. I was off his bandwagon before he got fake hurt because his mindset was everywhere but the "team". He finally played his 2017 team-oriented game against Spitt and had an amazing game and then quits while he's ahead. You gotta know when to fold'm I guess. We'll see if his gamble pays off. I dont think it will personally.
I know a good bit of people who grew up in Africa. Chances are, if he's in America for any reason related to higher education, his family has money. I will promise you he didnt grow up spearing zebras and picking through trash. Poor families there wouldnt even have the chance for their kids to come to America for any reason
The NBA expects athletes to play through the pain, not take up a space on the roster and watch the games from the bench.
Ive read he has 13 siblings, and an article on another site references some poor conditions back home.
His older brothers have been good players but I dont know if they played professionally.
His home is one of the poorer areas in Africa, and the world.
I agree. My comment was to someone asking me if I "used" WVU to improve my future prospects. I did and in doing so did everything that I agreed to do.
I'm confused. So is the intent of the WVU basketball team to win games or allow players to hone the weak part of their game on the court? If Sags working on the weaker part of his game was not conducive to the team winning, why would we want him back? Most players when honing the weak parts of their game do not completely abandon what made them effective in the first place. Pat White didn't completely abandon running when he was trying to improve his pocket passing as a senior. I would think Huggs expected Sags to use the facilities to work on his game independently and then in practice show if his expanded game could be effective. But primarily he would continue to mostly play the role that got him noticed the year before. Sags didn't do that and if he came in knowing he wasn't willing to primarily be a rim protector and low post player, he was coming in knowingly making the team weaker for his benefit. Much more parasitic than symbiotic. But remember this entire argument is based upon not so much trashing the kid, but rather my statement that it's best for both parties for Sags to go given last season proved that Sags priorities and the team's priorities had a hard time coexisting.
Kevin Jones was a great example of the type of player you describe. Developed a 3-point shot but never lost focus on rebounding.
As I said...he quit on his team mates. No feelings for him at this point.
Konate actually averaged more rebounds this year than last.
You don't block shots on offense....
Him playing on the perimeter on offense has nothing to do with him protecting the rim.
It is like some of you never watch a basketball game or even played the sport.
Konate will have to develop into a Montrzell Harrell type of player.
Watch Harrell....
Same size as Konate and plays off the pick and roll.
NBA wants bigs like this. This is why Texas plays their bigs like this and they have had more bigs drafted than pretty much everyone the last 10-15 years.
