Just a few short games ago, PJ Fuller couldn’t get off the bench. And then, as soon as he fought his way back into the rotation, he was out of it — sidelined with a bum ankle. On Saturday, though, a confident Fuller displayed the elite athleticism and impressive offensive skill set that made his such a highly desired recruit out of high school.
Despite missing as much practice time as anyone — probably in the country — Fuller didn’t look rusty Saturday, dropping 13 points, including a pair of three pointers, and providing much-needed ball-handling against Buzz Williams’ 1-2-2 trapping press, the same type of defense that gave the Frogs fits just three days prior.
