But you can't really say no to the Pac 12 All-Conference player if he wants to come.
At this point, Yesufu is just the better option and there isn't enough time to do anything otherwise. I really can't get over how bad of a defender Remy is. It really is something. He defends by flopping because he knows he can't stay in front of a guy. Yesufu should help us in the years to come as well and his shot will start falling more now that he's getting comfortable.

I think once the big tournament starts it won't even matter. Coach Self is gonna roll with Harris and probably for 35 minutes. Jo might get the other 5, and Self will use the injury as the excuse for limited Remmy time. It's too bad. I really like Remmy's ability to get 10 to 15 foot good looks off the dribble. We tend to go through dry spells offensively and I think we struggle getting good looks in the final seconds of a shot clock. Remmy seemed like a good go-to in those situations.
Harris is going to get 35 minutes and will continue to get that role for two more years. I just hope that doesn't mean Jo leaves us.
