    In response to Chet Forte

Here are the Columbia season stats:
http://www.gocolumbialions.com/fls/9600/Stats/MBB/...

Hickman is averaging 7.4 ppg for 26.7 mpg
Stefanini is averaging 6.1 ppg for 13.0 mpg

In summary, Stefanini is scoring at about twice Hickman's rate, meaning that the Lions are losing about six or seven points per game by not using Stefanini. Furthermore, Stefanini's field goal percentage and 3 point shooting percentage are both way above Hickman's. To be fair, Hickman is ahead of Stefanini in a few other categories such as free throw percentage, and the statistics do not show who is the better overall defender. However, from having watched all 21 Columbia basketball games this season, the impression I have is that Stefanini is a better defender than Hickman. Finally, the freshman, Stefanin, is improving substantially from game to game whereas the senior, Hickman, is not. In brief, I do respectfully submit that the Columbia coaching staff is making a serious mistake by not starting Stefanini and giving him much more playing time.
