Cam didn't lay basketball for 3 months this summer. He wasn't around the team, no open gyms, nothing. I think we all maybe underappreciated how much of an effect that would have. Division 1 basketball is hard. It's not like riding a bike where you just hop back on and remember how it goes. It's going to take him a while to get in a rhythm.
With that said, Prohm needs a serviceable big for Big 12 play. At this moment, I'm not so sure Conditt isn't a better option on the floor than Cam, but like Cam, he needs time on the floor to get comfortable as a freshman adjusting to D1 basketball. I think this has caused the somewhat random minute distributions. Do you spend the time on Lard hoping he can come out of his funk and remember what made him so good last year? Or do you give the minutes to the guy that is contributing more at this minute?
