Ahhh see this is where we are miscommunicating. Did i say "Help Defender"? No i did not. I said on ball defender. And yes, I think babb is a better on ball defender than bubu but not by much. If you dont want to believe me fine, but you should believe fred hoiberg who said Bubu was this teams best on ball defender... Need i say more?
Having Bubu back will help our depth in the backcourt. No disrespect, but he is a spot minute guy, around 10 minutes a game here or there at best.
He plays very hard and provides a nice spark, but he's just not a guy who you want playing extended minutes. He's not talented enough to play 20 minutes a game but can be very effective coming in during certain situations to hassle an opposing player on D and handle the ball on offense. I'm glad he's back.

That reply wasn't to you. Still stand by what I said.
It's good that he's back, I'm just not as high on him as most posters.
I've written this in other related threads: I see no downside to Bubu's return.
Additional depth.
Someone brought up questions about chemistry and "taking away minutes." I could see that being a concern if he was a 30-minute guy prior to the injury, or a major scoring threat, and here he comes back into the rotation, and the 6th or 7th man gets "demoted."
He's a role player with a combination of specific strengths (defense, some driving capabilities on offense, reliable FT shooter). I think his return will mesh quite nicely.
It might even create an unexpected boost — think about the strides ISU has made since his injury. He was out long enough that it's like adding another a new (yet familiar) player to your roster.

last year every BB post turned into an attack on Bubu now it seems we have a new whipping boy.
I'm sure that, between Fred's terrible coaching and the team's terrible chemistry, this will be the final nail in the coffin. I don't trust them at all to figure out the best line-ups and rotations to win games. It was a nice run while it lasted.
(wait for it...)

No downside to having extra warm bodies on the bench. Healthy and able Bubu is a good thing. Remain calm. All is well.

I was hoping you'd leave off the pirate, because I'm sure at least one person would have assumed you were serious. That would've be fun to read. :yes:
How can people "hate" an Ames boy that is a "Clone to the bone?" Like others said, it's not like he's playing 30 minutes a game and he is a great energy guy like Mcgee when the others need a rest. As far as depth goes I'd much rather have Bubu on the floor than Railey any day. Railey is a bonehead with potential that he'll never reach. Hopefully Fred makes him (Railey) pull his head out of his rump
CFH said earlier this week that there was a good chance we'll see him back on the bench for Saturday's game.
