He was abysmal in the Tennessee game. Had four turnovers as well. We were lucky he fouled out because it opened things up for Dedric to dominate and play arguably his best game of the season (24-13-5 on 9 of 16 shooting).

Anything you gain from getting Doke back is negated by how much worse Dedric gets. Doke is forced to play within 7’ of the basket, which forces Dedric to play in the midrange and settle for jumpers.
When Dedric does play around the basket next to Doke, the defense collapses on him since Doke is no threat outside of 7’.
