The best way to measure a guy like Khalifa and how effective he is is truly the +/-. He wasn't the best in every game but there are quite a few down the stretch that he was far and away better than Fous. You also have to remember that Khalifa spent very little time on the floor with Jaxson or Fous so you actually have him playing without your 2 best "scorers" offensively. If you look at his patterns of playing, he couldn't play after the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half over the past few weeks and it wasn't because he was bad, just had nothing.

Down the stretch, you can see his knee as more and more a factor in his 2nd half minutes, but its wasn't because he wasn't effective as much as he had nothing left in the 2nd. It was even what I'd say as majorly problematic against UCF and ISU where clearly he was the guy in the first 25 minutes, but just didn't have anything left in the tank. Clearly he left on a sour note with a bad game against TTU and a really bad game in the tourney. The guy is taking a full year and a half before he'll play again.
