Izzo's current stance on not taking players in the portal is killing this year's team.
They're getting nothing on the offensive side from their two centers. Cooper is a walk-on in his second year with limited skills, and the other Sissko came in as a project and hasn't improved much in three years; it's sad.
Booker and fellow freshman small forward Coen Carr have shown improvement throughout the season. They flashed energy and talent in the first half of the Iowa game but only played limited minutes.
Aikins, a shooting guard/small forward, a third-year player, was supposed to have a breakout season, but it's not happening.
Fifth-year Malik Hall has a ton of talent but is inconsistent, and he's more of a follower and not a leader, which this team desperately needs.
Walker, the shooting guard, is having a good season, but some limits, only being 5'10 or 5'11.
Hoggard, at the one, is up and down.
