Washburn coach Brett Ballard reminded his Ichabod basketball campers Tuesday morning that Kansas sophomore power forward Silvio De Sousa struggled after arriving at KU from IMG Academy last Dec. 27.
“He didn’t get to play right away,” Ballard, a former KU player and director of basketball operations, said in introducing the 6-foot-9, 245-pound Angola native to a group of attentive youths seated on the Lee Arena court.
“Did he pout? Did you pout Silvio?” he asked De Sousa, who worked Ballard’s camp with KU teammate Marcus Garrett on Tuesday.
“No” was the answer from both De Sousa and Ballard.
