I was at the KU/NDSU game yesterday, and I was wondering if anyone else watched Cole Aldrich closely. Not the times when he was rebounding or dunking (which was quite often) but the rest of the time? I guess I am trying to say that I noticed many a time when he didn't even cross the half court line on offense, or barely make it to the three point line, without getting down in the paint. One fast break in particular for Kansas, Aldrich stayed back underneath the opposing basket and didn't even attempt to walk down the court.
My question is, is this something Bill Self would coach a player to do, as in some way Aldrich is helping to stop any fast break from happening? Or is he just lazy a bunch of the time or not physically conditioned enough to run with the team? It appeared to be lazyness on my part, but I could be wrong.
