Interesting Quote from Coach Mack

Yeah Sutton had to play too many minutes sometimes last season and that wore him down toward the end. That and a combination of defenses keying in on him more after he started having some big games.

With, hopefully, more options this time both as subs and scoring threats, Sutton will be able to stay fresher and do his thing down the stretch.
 
High motor guys can't play 40 minutes. Their contribution to the team is there energy. A Sutton playing on 1/2 tank is not what we need from him. That kid is awesome when he's at full throttle.
 
“He’s a winner,” Mack said of Sutton. “We need to keep Dwayne fresh. I think last season as he played a lot of minutes, he wore down. We are not going to let him wear down this year.”

More options this year to accomplish this goal I think.
Also a smart / respectful / non-threatening way to get it out there that he will play a freshman or two at the wing without having Sutton react negatively.
