He's not that smooth. He is erratic like Nader and McKay. I'd rather have Ashton in there. This team needs more players with composure and less one on one "playmakers".

Having said that, he will be key to our success of the bench.

Call me crazy but the team seemed more stable with Ashton in there. He did just enough to earn respect from the defense but didn't do anything dumb. Exactly what we need off the bench.

We slowed the game down so fouls weren't much of an issue. Didn't need more out of him.

He didn't have a good game, and Ashton was playing fine. He'll be fine, just one of those days for him

Ashton was solid with what he gave us, but let's not start the next CF overreaction idea that he should be the 6th man. I would like to see us go 8 deep when guys need some rest though

Burton is much better then Ashton. Burton can rebound and play decent D. Ashton looked good. I think he proved that he deserves minutes. We need to continue to spread the minutes out. Niang just can't play 37 minutes a game with our schedule.

Nader had a great game offensively and Ashton played very well. We just didn't need Burton to do much today. No biggie.

Burton upside is far higher but JA is a smart player. I'm surprised he missed that 2nd three cause kid can shoot. I really liked JA active hands in that zone. When Jordan went out and MT took his spot in that zone it wasn't as effective. Not that MT isn't a better player cause he is but defensively in that zone MT does better on the wing.

It is clear to me and prob the team that when this team focuses on D and is patient in offense they can beat anyone. It's when they get lazy on perimeter and rush shots that things fall apart

burton look great on one of his baskets, then nothing. Hard to believe he will not help the team somewhere down the line.

Has Burton dunked in a ISU game yet? All we heard was his thunderous dunks he brings to the game....has he been able to dunk yet?

I have not been able to stomach watching this team and the parts of games I have seen I do not recall a dunk....Is this true?
