With the way Charles Bassey has played lately, it’s easy to see why fans would assume he’s much older.
“You know, I keep this in perspective with him,” Stansbury said. “I think people get caught up in ‘five-star guy’ and all this. That doesn’t mean you’re a finished product and a great player right now.
Stansbury made those comments shortly after Bassey powered the Hilltoppers to a 66-63 win Thursday at Southern Mississippi. The 6-foot-11 freshman posted 14 points to go with 17 rebounds, marking his ninth double-double of the season.
Bassey has notched 13.6 points and 11 rebounds per game in seven C-USA contests.
