Dex personifies a blend of Kel, X, and Samuel L Jackson (you know which one I'm talking about), IMHO.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

One of the things that amazes me about Dexter is how smooth his shot looks. He's only been playing right handed for a few years. He apparently tinkered with his right hand after his initial injury and surgery at the before his freshman year in high school. After his 2nd surgery in his junior year he committed to totally switching to a righty.
I assume every one knows that story but if not here's the run down:

They are not a balanced team.
Our bigs should dominate.

Give him his points. Though not likely that many with our D.

NC State Game - 14/24, 8/13 from 3, 44 pts
UNCG - 6/17, 3/11 from 3, 23 pts
Davidson - 4/12, 1/6 from 3, 14 pts.
He's going to get his points, but against the higher level teams, he's normally a volume shooter.
SMU - 36%
Belmont - 33%
Louisville - 35%
Clemson - 33%
Liberty - 32%
Davidson - 33%
UNCG - 35%

None of the history that has been made at Wichita State could have occurred without Tekele Cotton. Yes, Fred and Ron were just as key, but as far as team success, none of it would have occurred without the nicest lock down defender you will ever have the pleasure to meet.
Now we have the second iteration of Tekele, only he's 3 inches taller and appears to be ahead of schedule in his development. Both didn't have much basketball experience and were totally overlooked on the recruiting trail. Although Tekele 2.0 showed enough promise to get his coach a job at WSU.
We used to say that if only TC was a little bit taller... Showtime! Looks like we're gonna get a chance to test that theory. One thing that stands out to me in stark contrast to Mr. Cotton is that Dex seems to have the personality of an X rather than Mr. Nice Guy. My interactions with him have been quite strange. He was actually kind of a dick. I don't mind though, the meaner the better I always say. As long as he keeps his mouth shut on the court which he absolutely does.
Cue Aargh's comment about needing shades.

Crazy improvement. He was in foul trouble all the time early, costing him minutes. Wonder how much better he'd be if he could have gotten those minutes early on.
Our frosh coming in need to practice not fouling. Just for the fact that fouling = lost minutes = less development potentially."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!

The freshmen are pushed very hard on the defensive end, which turns them into foul machines early on. They just have to learn to skate on the edge between going max-out at the very fast Division 1 pace and overdoing it by committing a foul. The only way to teach it is throw them in the game, and let them find that line. While painful early on, the end result is a bad-ass defensive team.
