DJ Hughes - Back in rotation SundayHughes amassed four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 14 minutes during Sunday's 86-56 loss to UConn.

ImpactHughes may not have filled the stat sheet and likely won't be ready to become fantasy-relevant this season, but he did return from a five-game absence Saturday to see a season-high 14 minutes. There have been some extra frontcourt minutes recently opened up with Manny Bates sidelined by a knee injury, and returning players like Hughes and Myles Wilmoth are candidates to see a bit of extra short-term run as a result.

Myles Wilmoth - Season-high minutes in returnWilmoth ended Sunday's 86-56 loss to UConn with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three blocks in 12 minutes.

ImpactWilmoth missed the first 10 games of the season and has been in and out of action since, with an arm injury being at least partially to blame. However, Butler's post depth has been tested of late due to the absence of Manny Bates (knee), which has left the door open for players like Wilmoth to see a bit more run in an ancillary role.

Jayden Taylor - Decent despite blowoutTaylor accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 86-56 loss to UConn.

ImpactTaylor produced at near his season averages of 12.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, even in a slightly lessened workload. Butler was down 22 points by halftime Sunday, which prompted plenty of garbage time minutes down the roster.

Eric Hunter - Returns to rock bottomHunter closed with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Sunday's 86-56 loss to UConn.

ImpactSince booming for 23 points against DePaul, Hunter has combined for just 21 points across Butler's last five contests. He was invisible Sunday, and Hunter has failed to provide a two-way spark in the backcourt despite his featured role.

Hassan Diarra - Joins the funDiarra provided eight points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one block and one steal across 14 minutes during Sunday's 86-56 win over Butler.

ImpactDiarra logged his best performance since an 11-point, seven-assist UConn debut in the season opener. The Texas A&M transfer is averaging just 15.6 minutes per game through 21 appearances. He's connecting on a lowly 32.8 percent of 3.2 shots per game.

Adama Sanogo - Easy double-doubleSanogo finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Sunday's 86-56 victory over Butler.

ImpactSanogo feasted against Butler's small-ball lineup -- prompted by Manny Bates (knee) being inactive. Sanogo is averaging 22.0 points and 14.0 rebounds across two contests against Butler this season.
