Dusan Mahorcic - Logs seven minutes in returnMahorcic supplied two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes during Thursday's 74-68 loss to Washington.
ImpactMahorcic put up decent numbers given his limited run in the contest. Even before his knee injury, Mahorcic was averaging just 12.4 minutes per game, so the senior's role doesn't figure to expand too much even when he's back up to speed.

Lazar Stefanovic - Goes for 12 in startStefanovic ended Thursday's 74-68 loss to Washington with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes.
ImpactStefanovic started just one game prior to his appearance in the starting five Thursday but has now tallied double digits in the scoring column in each of the last two games. Both Gach played a season-low minutes total in the contest, so the playing time for Gach and Stefanovic and the role of each may be something to keep an eye on moving forward. As of Thursday, Stefanovic appears to have carved out a larger spot in the rotation and his showing shouldn't hurt his chances of keeping it.

Both Gach - Playing time decreasingGach notched zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over nine minutes during Thursday's 74-68 loss to Washington.
ImpactGach was held scoreless for the second time this season as he was relegated back to a bench role in favor of Lazar Stefanovic and logged a season-low nine minutes. He was shutout across the rest of the stat-sheet excluding a lone turnover. Gach has been impressive overall this season with shooting splits of 55/36/75 but appears to have fallen out of favor for the time being.

Daejon Davis - Contributes across the boardDavis finished Thursday's 74-68 win over Utah with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes.
ImpactDavis led all scorers in the game with 16 points on an efficient 58 percent shooting night. He contributed across the board with a block and a steal on the defensive end and a team-high five assists as well. Over the last five games, Davis is averaging 9.8 points on 38 percent shooting as he continues to struggle with his consistency.

Cole Bajema - Scores 15 off benchBajema recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Thursday's 74-68 victory over Utah.
ImpactBajema returned to his regular bench role after getting a start Dec. 21 in place of the sidelined Jamal Bey, and he shined with all 15 of his points coming from beyond the arc. His minutes have been sporadic this season, as he's seen 20+ minutes in five games and single digit minutes in six games. The three-point specialist has been an inconsistent shooter at 31 percent overall on the season.
