Sounds bad, oh wait.Just got an up close view of Cody’s wrist. That brace/cast looks pretty damn significant.

Apart from Giddey who is watching Boulder HS Freshman girls game
Like I’ve said, I’ve had wrist tendinitis and it hurts like hell just to move it. You have to completely immobilize it. I mean, just holding a pen hurts. So I’m not concerned about that. Once inflammation begins to dissipate the wrist heals up quickly. The old RICE thing.Just got an up close view of Cody’s wrist. That brace/cast looks pretty damn significant.
If it were broken, they wouldn’t be talking “day to day.” It’d be 6 to 8 weeks.

I was a pretty big supporter of Lovering over the last two seasons. I thought he worked hard on defense and that his offensive game would come around to at least acceptable. I was upset when he transferred. There's no doubt that Lampkin is an upgrade in almost every way.
I think almost every foul call is discretionary
I also think lane violations occur on >95% of FT attempts and the few times they're called is discretionary
I'd normally state that as 'subjective' vs 'discretionary' though
Steals are occasionally interesting too, one player pokes the ball loose, the other one collects it is very different than intercepting a pass.

You are correct. But, FWIW, assists are a positive stat, fouls and lane violations are negative
Yep.
And while we're on the subject, I think a missing individual stat is tracking passes that lead to a teammate taking FT attempts, call it "free throw assists".

Every team internally tracks deflections for this very reason!

BOULDER — Colorado had six players in double-figure scoring Friday and the Buffaloes rolled to a 90-68 win over Northern Colorado at the CU Events Center.
Tad Boyle's Buffs improved to 8-2 with their third straight win while the Bears fell to 4-6.
One of Boyle's main goals all week had been to make sure the Buffs didn't experience a letdown in the wake of last Sunday's big 90-63 win over No. 15 Miami.
Colorado put those worries to rest in a hurry. The Buffs used a 21-5 surge over the final nine minutes of the first half to take a 48-27 lead at the break, then opened the second half with a 22-7 run to put the game away.
Guard KJ Simpson led CU in scoring with 21 points to go with five steals, five rebounds and four assists. Eddie Lampkin Jr. recorded his second double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go with six assists, J'Vonne Hadley tallied 15 points and six assists, Luke O'Brien scored 14, Tristan da Silva added 12 and Julian Hammond chipped in 10.
Saint Thomas led UNC with 27 points, but he shot just 10-for-22.
Colorado finished with 23 assists, the Buffs' sixth game this season with at least 20 assists. CU shot 49 percent from the floor (35-for-71) and held a 43-32 edge on the boards.
Defensively, the Buffs held UNC to 42 percent shooting (25-for-60) and also forced 15 Bears turnovers, which Colorado converted into 28 points.
CU hit the 90-point barrier for the fifth time this season and Colorado improved to 95-8 in home non-conference games in the Boyle era.
"Overall — you get 23 assists and six guys in double figures, that's good," Boyle said. "Our team is starting to come together."
...
The Bears never threatened to slice the margin under 20 again.
Simpson continues to make his case as being one of the best point guards in the country. Friday was his sixth game with at least 20 points and he now has three times as many assists (44) than turnovers (14) to go with his 20 steals.
"We're starting to rely on KJ like we used to rely on McKinley (Wright), both offensively and defensively," Boyle said. "He's playing at an elite level. If there's nine better point guards in the country, I want to see them. There's some good point guards in college basketball this year and KJ Simpson is one of them and to me he's a top 10 guard in the country."
TURNING POINT: After UNC cut Colorado's lead to five midway through the first half, the Buffs went on a quick 11-2 run to push their lead double digits and the Bears never threatened again.
WHAT IT MEANS: The Buffs improved to 6-0 at home and made sure there was no letdown after a big win over Miami.
KEY STATISTICS: Colorado finished with 23 assists, the Buffs' sixth game this season with at least 20 assists … CU shot 49 percent from the floor (35-for-71) and held a 43-32 edge on the boards … Colorado held UNC to 42 percent shooting (25-for-60) and also forced 15 Bears turnovers, which Colorado converted into 28 points.
NEXT UP: The Buffaloes wrap up their non-conference schedule next Thursday with a 5 p.m. home game against Utah Tech (Pac-12 Network) at the CU Events Center. Colorado then opens Pac-12 play with home games against Washington (Dec. 29) and Washington State (Dec. 31).

This Kambala kid literally looks like he's 9 years old.
My wife just said the same thing! He looks like the kid from Freaks and Geeks.

Dallas Walton sideline sighting on the PAC 12 network broadcast. Pretty cool.
Few other former players here too. I’m sitting right next to Levi Knutson, Dwight Thorne, and Trent Beckley. Beau Gamble not here, but they’re using his seats.
Name dropper!
