BOULDER — Since entering Pac-12 play this year, Colorado forward D'Shawn Schwartz has taken a big step forward.
If the 6-foot-7 sophomore can make that a consistent occurrence through the rest of the season, it will be a big boost for the Buffs — particularly as they battle issues in the depth department.
In 11 non-conference games this year, Schwartz averaged 7.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. That is a solid step ahead of last year's 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds.
But Schwartz's production has increased even more in Pac-12 play, where he has averaged a team-leading 14.
