Pressure for Bankston?

I don't know the young man, but my impression of Kris Bankston last season was that he was just a little too laid back. Mind you, when he dunked, he did so with authority, but I thought he should have been much more dominant than he was, especially on the boards.

Even with his impressive numbers, I figure Bankston is going to be pressed some for PT this next season. Kamani Johnson showed good potential last season, and was a better rebounder than Bankston. Ruot Monyyong had impressive numbers in juco and could end up at the 4 spot if Maric successfully defends his place as the 5, and his minutes likely will effect Bankston's.

In any case, whereas last year Bankston's only real competition was a raw freshman in Johnson, this year the battle should be much tougher, and that is a good thing for Little Rock.
