2692375, To be fair, his defense absolutely changed that game. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Apr-04-19 02:09 PM
Kansas shot 33% inside the 3-point arc, which is insane.
People at the time tried to use the 1-10 to dismiss what kind of a pro he'd be. He did a 6/16/5/3/6 line, and people who watched the game saw what a monumental impact he had on the floor. He won MOP for a reason.
I wouldn't necessarily argue AD is the best freshman ever-- I don't really know who I'd pick, hence me staying out of this post for the most part-- but I don't think that 1-10 shooting night is itself a disqualifier when he was UK's most important player on the court by a healthy margin in that game.
