Copied some of Mark's comments from the article. Kinda supports my thoughts that CM does not really develop his players.
KC Star:
Mark Smith only has one regret about his decision to play college basketball for Kansas State. He wishes he would have joined the Wildcats earlier. Four years earlier, to be exact.
If he could go back and do things differently, Smith thinks he would have been much better off enrolling at K-State straight out of high school rather than waiting until he was a graduate transfer who had already played one season at Illinois and three more at Missouri.
“Being here now, that’s something I think about a lot,” Smith said. “I see how much my game has gotten better and how much I have developed. I am a much better basketball player now than I ever have been before. But at least I’m here now. I’m having a lot of fun.” “I always thought I could get to the basket and make the right play,” Smith said. “That’s just something each end every day I’ve been growing with. I have gotten a lot better after watching film and playing for Coach (Bruce) Weber. My game has really gotten better in all aspects. I am better at shooting, getting to the basket, finishing, the whole deal.”
