There is a good chance Kansas State point guard Kamau Stokes will play against West Virginia on Saturday after missing a month of action with a broken left foot.
On paper, his return appears to be a good thing for the Wildcats. They lack depth and could benefit from a player like Stokes (13.4 points, 4.6 assists) back in the rotation. Still, K-State coach Bruce Weber may need to use a delicate touch while he eases Stokes back into games.
Though Stokes is a three-year starter with NCAA Tournament experience, the Wildcats have played their best basketball with redshirt freshman Cartier Diarra in the starting lineup.
