Yes, Mo’s the leader of the team, does a fantastic job running the offense and is probably the best player on the team. And yes, Marcus is a supremely gifted off guard unlike anything Creighton’s had in years. But, is it totally crazy to say that Khyri has been the best Jay so far this season and Marcus has arguably been the 4th or 5th best? Cause if I had to rate the guys after watching four games, I might say Khyri, Mo, Cole, Marcus, Justin, Zach, Z, rest of bench. Also, it’s a small sample size, but if you look at stats, especially advanced stats, he’s standing above everyone else getting minutes at this point. All that’s kind of skewed a bit by (a) how much teams likely prepare for Mo and Marcus rather than Khyri, and (b) those two guys being higher usage guys than Khyri, but it’s still worth noting.
Anyway, I didn’t really stop to think about it until I saw this from Jeff Goodman:
“This team is balanced with Maurice Watson Jr., Cole Huff, Marcus Foster and redshirt freshman big man Justin Patton.”
Fair enough, but if Khyri keeps playing even remotely as well as he’s playing now, he won’t be left off many more lists like the above.
