MANHATTAN – Unlike most point guards preparing for their first college basketball game, Kamau Stokes will not have to worry about playing time as a freshman.
He is assured loads of it at Kansas State.
Following the transfers of Jevon Thomas and Nigel Johnson, and the dismissals of Marcus Foster and Tre Harris, the Wildcats have lost 80 percent of their backcourt in the past month and are without a returning point guard. K-State coach Bruce Weber has no choice but to lean heavily on incoming freshmen guards like Stokes and Barry Brown, along with junior-college transfer Carlbe Ervin next season.
