Jalen may never recover from the absolute shitshow he put everyone through the first 10ish games. Yeah, that was a rough start. Even before then tho, and since, I feel like fans have been sleeping on him. Dude’s our best rebounder and perhaps second best scorer, even if a little inconsistent. His p...

What’s “BPR?”

And how come Dajuan’s defensive BPR is only single digits?

And how does a 5 and 3 offensive average yield a BPR in the 30s?

It’s not entirely out of the question that one of our guards has a KJ in 2OT moment at some point this season

Even if it means Self playing him cuz he has no other choice, and/or even though he doesn’t wanna

What work responsibilities?

You mean like going all insurrectionist on the butterfly center?

Yea. I guess it’s just a fanboy musing to wonder how much chicken and egg there is to the short leash treatment.

And yeah some players get to play through issues.

But I wonder when Self has those “ok Hawkins knows the system better but maybe we need to get this Mario kid up to speed” kinda moments.

I don't remember which game it was early in the season, but DaJuan was quite candid in the post game show. He said the other three guards are stronger and faster than he is, and that Self told him if he turns it over he won't play. So he did have a short leash, and he earned the long one he has now...

Haven’t posted as Psych in over a year. Not a sock. Nice try, though.

Not a sock either.

Och is the best and I can't believe I am saying that after the last 3 years. CB might be the best at the rim, but he lacks that first step to get there in the first place. Agreed. CB just needs to finish better. He has gotten there a lot but has missed an unreal amount of make-able shots at the rim...

Garrett got SO much shit last year for his lack of scoring, and the bulk of the blame for that team’s lack of success, despite being the only guy who was actually ready for NBA minutes.

And now here we are, defending Dajuan for his intangibles.

Dejuan can get to the rim only because they aren't guarding him. But he still doesn't score.

If Dajuan’s name was Marcus Garrett, he woulda been chased outta Lawrence by now

Your analysis is piss poor. Almost as bad as your hot take attempts at overly simplified explanations for our troubles with things like "CB makes us have a low ceiling" and "maybe we didn't get out in transition because DH has bad stamina". Maybe we didn't get out in transition ...

Who?

And as for Cam, yeah it head scratching that the only GM move to address the 5 spot with known issues was a freshman and a D2 redshirt.

Yeah, none of our guards are good at getting to the rim. The only reason Dajuan even started trying for layups is cuz the d figured him out. They realize he doesn’t look for the rim, only looks to pass, so they took away the passing lanes and forced him to try for the rim. And he still wasn’t gettin...

Yeah, Dajuan needs to at least appear like he’s trying to go to the rim when he drives

Snowflake Dave might even draw 2 or 3+ defenders.

Not that he’ll notice.

Yeah. This team’s ceiling is in transition, if they’re able to turn a game into a track meet. But - are we really doing that, at least yet? How often do we really score an easy transition bucket? IS Harris loads better in transition? Is there a fast break points stat for this team? And while I agre...

Well to be fair, I’m so confident about this team’s frontcourt either.

Now somebody give a guttermeter to the Q.

Ohh, good call.

Finally found a starter with stats inferior to Juan.

And go figure it’s illy’s fave!
