Well, that didn't take long. Four games into his brief Cyclone tenure, fans are already starting to suggest that Deonte Burton belongs in the starting line up. The explosive Marquette transfer has provided a major jolt off the bench, scoring in double figures in the last three contests, including notching an impressive 19 points in Saturday's loss to Oklahoma.
The truth is, we've been here before. During the '12-'13 campaign, Tyrus McGee was Iowa State's second leading scorer, but flourished in a 6th man role. That didn't stop fans, however, from wanting to see McGee earn a starting nod.
