Jayhawks making $$$
Re: Jayhawks making $$$
I’m curious to see how Dave’s role might evolve with another year and some new guard personnel.

Re: Jayhawks making $$$
I guess if you want to give him credit for not transferring, that's fine, you can like a player for whatever reason you want. I would guess nearly all of our favorite players were guys that didn't transfer.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:58 amI guess Dok only played 9 games the 2nd season, but he was behind him until the injury, and he knew it heading into the season and still didn't transfer.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:50 amHe was behind Dok for 1 season.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 10:44 am You have the Daves and Mitches....and then you have the Frankamps who bolt at the first sign of competition at their position.
Dave sat behind Dok for 2 entire years and did so admirably and without any signs of negative team chemistry stemming from his lack of PT.
But, the thing about him sitting on the bench for two years is related to the reason why he's not likely to ever be one of my favorites--he's just not very good compared to what we thought we were getting.
Re: Jayhawks making $$$
Well, maybe 2 ball handlers will better for getting him the ball, but he’s still gotta get in position.
Hopefully he learns some footwork to “score before he gets the ball.” No collect, no dribble, just get the ball and put it up in rhythm.
But perhaps more of it will be he has guys who look to score themselves, so he doesn’t have to be the only one trying to shoot.
I’ve said before, but I wonder what he’d look like in a rich man’s Landen Lucas role. Focus on boreds, D, screens and spacing for other guys, offense coming more from dishes and lobs than from deliberate feeds.
Thing is, he’s a lot more player than that. But at the same time, if we have another stretch of offense that’s little more than forcing the post to a big playing physically and mentally soft and trying to finesse it, I might just change the channel to cartoons.

Re: Jayhawks making $$$
He'll be a lot more likeable this season because he should be in a more proper role for him.
Running all the sets through him ain't it. That wasn't his fault. That was Bill's.
Re: Jayhawks making $$$
Better shooters would spread the floor. Give Dave more time and space. I think that'd help him calm down. Then you'd get good Dave more often.ousdahl wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 11:07 am Well, maybe 2 ball handlers will better for getting him the ball, but he’s still gotta get in position.

When he's good he's pretty damn good.

Re: Jayhawks making $$$
It was about this time last year when Bill said that Dave should be our best offensive player and we need to play through him.
I mean, you have to know the psyche of your dudes better than that. Dave is so much better when not a lot is expected out of him.

Re: Jayhawks making $$$
Yeah, floor spacing will help.
And yeah, a lot was on Self to not run so many post feeds, but at the same time, what else was Self supposed to do when the other guys were so hesitant to shoot, and so lacking the ball skills to drive or create.
It’s crazy that we had multiple games we legit couldn’t get to 60 points.

Get the players and the ball moving. His offense is stale. Has been for awhile.ousdahl wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 11:26 am Yeah, floor spacing will help.

Goddammit. J. Wilson's has been in LFK forever and I never put that natural fit together with Jalen.
Come on, 100% of the posters here have to smile at that one.

I’m just waiting for a particular transfer guard to start pumping cognac…

I thought the players weren't allowed to wear any college branded gear during their ads. Did I just dream that or something?

I think some of that is different in different states if i read the rules correctly.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 3:32 pmThe ads themselves would probably be considered something different than an announcement of the partnership.
I do think what he just posted counts as an ad, so it's possible he committed a violation by doing that.
It is also possible 2 of the pictures were added by mistake. A few weeks ago Jalen Wilson posted his ad for the restaurant he is partnered with, they obviously sent him the text of what they wanted the post to say, but he forgot to replace "*insert favorite dish*" within the post for about 5min before enough people commented that he noticed...but cut the kid a break, they're amateurs. Oh wait.
Re: Jayhawks making $$$
but what if your favorite dish is endless breadsticks?
