my last thoughts on this topic. Darren was uncomfortable beccause he was forced into a role that he does not fill. this was the result of Duke developing a game plan to exploit this and executing it very well.

make no mistake, Bucknell is a distinctly better team when Darren is on the floor. he has the strength to play defense against big time players. he does the non-boxscore things like taking charges and fighting for loose balls. in short, he is a team player, understands his role and fills it, but does not try to do things that he is not as skilled at as his teammates. Duke forced him to do those things and his mindset kept him from reacting positively. few teams will be able to consistently force Bucknell into that situation.

while i have no desire to see him handling the ball more, i do think long term benefit could be derived if he more aggressively looked for his shot. it is generally his second option after looking for a teammate who is a better scorer. i would like to see him get just a touch more offensively minded in league play.
