While I don't want to see the #1 player in the country hurt....especially when he is a Tiger.... I think this is going to end up working out really well.
Like we noticed from KU game, MPJ is going to get his 25-30 shots. Most of those shots are likely to come from him just creating something off the dribble/pull-up/etc... It takes a lot longer to build synergy with the team if 20 of those possessions aren't offensive progressions.
I think we are seeing that Mizzou can play solid team ball and still get everyone their shots. It's really good that these guys are realizing this in Game 2-3...and not Game 13-14.
MPJ will be that much more important when he jumps back in here in a few weeks.
