DJ, in fact, is best served as a second option. He's a statsheet filler - a guy who will get you those rebounds you didn't think your team would get, who finds himself open and makes the play of the game.
I bet you Hardy will be out there more.
But when you all talk about Hardy, you have to consider defense. I love a scorer too, but I watch Hardy and he's not the defender that Paris is. he's just not. If you've been watching, you know that. He's not terrible, but still.
And I think it would have been a damned mistake for St. John's to think they were going to outscore Cornell without defending. Did you see their shooting percentages? The loss was a damned failure on defense, that's what. It's not the lack of playing time for one guy. It's the failure in the post (which is troubling) and the failure on the outside, even though the team wasn't really doubling anyone. Jaques got shots so open he could have stopped to check email on his phone and take a bite of a sandwich.
