Tier 2: Baby Jays

4. Hunter Dickinson

Big Hunt did not have his best game. He was harassed by the Roos, bodied and pushed around most of the game, leading to him pushing down a player and getting a flagrant foul out of frustration. He had an off day shooting going 6-of-12 from the field and 0-of-2 from 3-point range. He finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and one turnover. Not bad for an off night.

5. Dajuan Harris

Juan had 8 points on 3-of-6 shooting and 2-of-3 from 3. It was good to see the mouse knock down some open threes in the game, but going 0-of-3 on floaters and layups needs to improve. He added seven assists, one steal, one rebound and had two turnovers. He got beat several times on defense, including the first score for UMKC, but had his usual overall solid floor game.
