Last year we saw Treg become the X Factor as the year moved on, especially in the postseason. We entered this year knowing that while he was only a 12 ppg, 5 rpg guy we would sorely miss his intangibles (hustle, leadership, reckless abandon). I think we are seeing Mike Laster fill that role and come into his own. He is playing like a junior. He is playing like a guy who started as a freshman and has worked on his game and body since. I just think this guy deserves a huge shoutout for stepping up when we were in need. Say what you will about the guys we already know about but Big Mike has been huge and I hope it continues. If he is a threat to score in double figures that opens up Darty and Jaaron and JC inside.

He needs more touches. His jump shot between this year and last year is night and day. It still needs a little more tweaking, but he's on the right path. Everyone has been saying we need a wing who can slash and score, well here he is folks. Can't wait to see what next year brings for him. It's been fun watching him grow as a player and I don't know him personally but seems like a really good kid too.

Agreed. Laster is an example of why, if a guy is working hard, you just can't give up on him. It's why I have faith that Doug Taylor can turn into a serviceable big man. He's already doing well on the boards in limited action...hopefully the offense will come.
