Think I’ve said it, but you gotta figure “undersized center cosplaying as non-shooter tweener forward” would prob be a reserve in any other era.

But you also gotta figure “rail-thin non-shooter but non-slasher either veteran PG who’s still prone to bonehead freshman-looking moments anyway” is, again, in any other era prob a reserve.

So I guess it’s a matter of deciding which non-shooter is the lesser of the non-shooter evils.
I don't think Kj is a center. He's pretty much a non shooting PF to me.
Yeah, I dunno exactly what traditional position KJ fits best. In the era of positionless basketball, maybe that’s part of his appeal.

Maybe I’m just calling him an undersized center precisely because he can’t shoot, rather than calling him a non shooting PF.

And, as has been mentioned, a dood like KJ being a poor rebounder is prob even more concerning than being a poor shooter.

KJs problem is even in position less basketball, he somehow doesn't have a position. Because he can't shoot

Offensively KJ fits best as a center, because he can't shoot, his skill set is setting picks and rolling to the basket

Defensively, KJ is too small to play center

So if you play to his strengths on one end of the floor, your putting yourself in a bad position on the other end

there’s a reason numerous “experts” called them the best starting 5 in the country, despite the apparent need of messageboard “fan” experts to trash them
I mean, we were absolutely dominant on both ends in ‘07-‘08, starting Robinson and Kaun. As much as I detest Harris, Harris/Adams are better in combination than those two.
But are they really?

Robinson and Kaun both got NBA looks. Kj and DH won't.
I think KJ will. Dejuan certainly will not.

I could see KJ sniffing the league if he shows up next year with a bright shiny new jump shot.


But I can’t stress to you how big an “if” that is.

Scheduled for 10:30 pm May 9, 2024 Could Be Wrong

In another live edition of Could Be Wrong, the guys discuss the recent report that the SEC could be interested in adding Kansas if the conference decides to expand to 20 teams. They'll discuss if they're buying this rumor and if the move makes sense for the Jayhawks. They'll also talk about the latest happenings with KU Basketball and what the coaching staff will elect to do after the Riley Kugel departure. They'll also list the most important newcomers for next year's team and react to Bill Self's comments about having 'eight starters' on the roster

At this point, there are almost as many original big8 teams in the sec as there are in the big12.

At that point, is it though?

Is the big12 still the big12? Sure doesn't really feel like it to me.

Yes.
It is largely made up of states that were part of the confederates.
I know you don’t get it. You didn’t go to KU.

I don't care where you're from or where you went to college, if this list of schools feels like the Big 12 to you, maybe you should put the Ketamine bong down:

Arizona
Arizona State
BYU
Cincinnati
Houston

Are you going to keep the site running? I need an outlet for frustration during games so I don't disturb my dog and kids, in that order. TIA.

Book this: KU ain't joining the SEC and the Big 12 ain't going nowhere.

the Big12 became the hunter (thanks, Yormark)…that’s what saved the conference (and the Pac sitting on their arrogant asses)

KU’s going nowhere
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Conferences as a concept could die. What's the point once there are so many teams you play some schools once every other year (football)? Basketball is a little easier, but once you get to 16-18+ teams it gets messy.
