Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Our eggs are still very much in hunters basket. He's going to play a ton again. We do have some options to rest him more, with other guys to look to for scoring when hunter is out, so hopefully that helps. But he is still going to play 30ish minutes a game. Nobody doubts he can get us 20 and 10. But...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

That's because fans are irrational when things don't go well. The team sucked and HD was on the team so some angry fans who don't like HD blame it on him. This is me. Fuck HD. KU didn't have enough guys to make a deep tourney run so I am not mad as if KU missed some golden chance at a natty. Next y...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Honestly I think getting KJ off the floor some more will help hunter and our offense a ton. Clemence and storr playing some of those minutes at the 4 will open the court up a lot when KJ rests

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Was it all hunter's fault we sucked last year? No. We didn't have the best pieces to compliment his game. But the biggest impact he had on our teams wasn't impacting our success. He changed the way we played, we played slower, our offense struggled more than usually, and our defense was nowhere near...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Last few seasons 21-22: 34-6 (14-4) 22-23: 28-8 (13-5) 23-24: 23-11 (10-8) In hunter's one season here, KU had the worst results of the bill self era. This team had the fewest wins, most losses, worst winning % (total number of games per season vary slightly, but this past team was worst in all cate...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

We won games early in the season because nobody knows what the hell they are doing yet and we had 4 really good starters that found a way As teams gelled, we got exposed as having awkward pieces and playing in a good conference, teams found ways to beat us much more regularly than we are used to Mcc...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with some of you? "but does he impact winning?? So far he hasn't really" REALLY? "yet to be seen that those skills impact a team’s outcome"? REALLY? Tell that shit to Kentucky. 27 pts / 21 reb Tell that shit to Tenn. 17 pts / 20 reb Tell that sh...

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Back 2 Lawrence is right. Hunter has good skills, but does he impact winning?? So far he hasn't really

Last season we built around hunter (poorly) and our play style was one of the worst team products I've seen in awhile. Subpar defense and a slower pace offense that struggled to score at times

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

Self needs to figure out what to do on D. Offense doesn't matter if you can't defend the pick and roll. Three final four teams last season seemed to have it figured out - how to defend with an immobile center. Just because they had big centers doesn't mean they are immobile. Clingan is projected to...

Re: 2024/2025 Lineup

I find it reasonable to think hunter and KJ both play less minutes next season.

Both will be a big part of the rotation obviously, but we have quality depth, that both affords them to rest more, and allows self to tinker with lineups

Re: Goodbye Hunter Dickinson

We would look a lot different without him. In some ways, we would be better

Like when we play defense

Re: 2024/2025 Lineup

We have a lot of different lineup possibilities now with these portal guys giving us long athletic shooters

Lineups that don't have KJ out there with zero shooting ability

Lineups that don't have slowmo hunter guarding the pick and roll

I'm intrigued

Re: NBA Playoffs 24

Maybe. He's coming off the bench for the 76ers. Behind Lowry Oubre and Harris on their depth chart. He only played 15min last night. Indiana has a good team and chose to move on from him. I get it. You really like Buddy Hield. I think he's decent too. Definitely good enough to be a rotation pkayer ...
