The only other reason SD would sit Wang inexplicably would be to send him a message. His comments were strong and I’m sure it got to Mike. I agree it was weird he didn’t play at all vs Dartmouth. I suspect it was a combination of bad matchups and a message being sent. That is something SD has done in the past.
I know the biggest difference in Dev Goodman going from role player (and long stretches of DNP-Coaches Decision) and his emergence this year as a 30+ guy is his defense. He always has had the offensive burst and game but his commitment to defense in his first two years was lacking. This year he has become an elite on ball defender and he is on the floor for 30+ minutes. I am pretty sure if Mike worked harder on the defensive end he would be on the floor more often.
