Bruce Weber trusts Kansas State’s top seven basketball players. The rest of the roster? Not so much.
The Wildcats have established a dependable rotation of seven players in their first eight games. Starters Kamau Stokes, Barry Brown, Wesley Iwundu, Dean Wade and D.J. Johnson have combined to average 54.9 points with top reserves Xavier Sneed and Carlbe Ervin providing 14.3 more.
Weber is pleased with that production, but he would be happier if the the other eight players on K-State’s bench could give more than the 9.5 points they have combined to average.
“You are going to get in foul trouble and we have got to get eight and nine (players in the rotation),” Weber said.
