Let's check in on our pal Jalen: 24 minutes, 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 turnover, 0-1 free throws. The issue is not whether there is somebody better for those minutes; it's whether anyone on the team could do worse with those minutes. They could suit up one of the cheer leaders and probably get 2 rebounds in 24 minutes.
And how about Phelps, the free throw king?
These are the two guys that are going to be the veteran core for next year's team?
Why the PAC-12 would want anything to do with this athletic wasteland, I don't know. Unless it is to provide an easy win opponent for its existing members.
