Kansas Crimson

More often than not transfers from the smaller schools struggle adjusting to the competition KU faces AND the level of defense Bill Self expects from his players.

On the flip side: Parker Braun is way better than I expected.

This roster looks a lot different with a non criminal Arterio Morris.

At best.

I don't see how he can possibly be on an NBA floor with his mobility issues.

He'll also get paid more to be at KU.

But if we need one point, absolutely I'd rather have him shooting a layup than Hunter shooting a contested 10-foot hook off a confused catch. Ok? I'd rather have a KJ dunk than a DH layup. We can come up with endless scenarios. Last game DH KM and HD all made clutch baskets. I get your nervousness....

We have a banner for All Americans. I'd have no issues at all for him going on that - still a pretty big accomplishment to get your name in the rafters forever. Retired for me means you were a Jayhawk legend. Sorry Hunter, you'll never be that in one year. HD does have a 2nd year option on his cont...

Another part of what I'm reacting to is that I still can't fully internalize that McCullar is actually this good. That's on me! I feel you. We've been doing this for a few years. Some of Self's best work. Felt the same about KM as Jalen and Och/CB prior. Just look at our relative lackluster NBA Jay...

Late in the game we want the ball in the hands of HD and KM. Not sure why we need DH to pretend he is Frank Devonte Sherron Etc. We have the personnel around him that allows him to be himself. Maybe it's more comforting for some of you to have the PG be the go to scorer, but it's not a necessity. I...

What I'm reacting to here is how goddamn stagnant we get in the halfcourt (which mostly comes down to us being, somehow, again, one shooter short). I think we are doing about as well as we possibly could have hoped. There is not elite high end NBA talent on this team. KJ is severely limited on offe...

Man. I felt kinda bad when i bumped this last. Was all gushered for UConn and all. But, if I may make a Christmas wish or whatever… Is it asking too much from Santa for Dajuan to average double digit scoring from here on out? He's hurting us at this point, every time we're in halfcourt offense and ...

Please don't make him recap his opinion again. For 5th time.

Timberlake shooting stats at KU:

26.9% 3pt
57.1% FT
41.7% 2pt

Yikes.

When illy comes along to tell you that you're going full illy it is probably time to take a breather for an hour or three.

My goodness.

Odds I see:

Jokic +210
Luka +400
Embiid +425
SGA +900
Giannis +900

Might be Luka's turn. It's completely splitting hairs between those top 3. All of their numbers are ridiculous.

it's not ideal that km, dh, hd and kja are forced to play 35-40 minutes every game. somebody/somebodies needs to start providing some relief for those guys. I think it's perfectly fine if our main 5 guys play 35+ in close important games, as long as they can stay out of foul trouble while still pla...

an ideal fit? Ideal? so if you could pick any singular bench player to put on this team, you'd pick Timberlake? Sheesh, we must be watching different games. LOL. He's an ideal fit for Towson. He's Jeremy Case at Kansas, and that is probably a diss to Case. He's a bad fit at Kansas this year. He is ...

Timberlake has been a big old bust.

We sure could have used MJ Rice for some bench depth.

So it’s probably gonna happen.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hypothetical:

If KM gets 2nd Team AA, 1st team all big 12, wins a national title....should he go in the rafters?

Or if HD gets 1st team AA, big12 POY, FF Mop/National title...what about him in that scenario?

He didn’t really play wing at KU or in the NBA but I could be wrong but im definitely not. I get your point (at how he was used at KU and whether or not stretch 4s are considered wings). Marcus is listed as SF or PF/SF in 7 of his 13 seasons in the NBA by basketball reference. I think we can sort o...
