I get why KJ is here. Without him we don't have dedric, and without dedric we might not even make the tournament.

If anything they are getting worse. Self seems like a fiercely loyal guy but I wonder if it isn't time for a shake up on the staff. Get some new faces in here with a fresh mindset. Consistency is good but it can also lead to complacency.

Up and down the roster, both guards and post players have regressed this year. In the case of Mitch, Moore, and KJ they have gotten noticeably worse. Even before Dok got hurt I thought his game would have matured more then what it really did. He has ZERO post moves other than dunks, lobs and powering through a guy to get to a right hand jump hook.

Moore is better than Cunliffe, and Moore is awful.

There's another Lawson brother, so we need to keep hoping this season goes well and KJ stays happy.

I think we are heavily discounting his positioning before he gets the ball and footwork after, here.

Cunliffe had better numbers. Even in miniscule minutes.

We didn't recruit Chandler.

We offered him a scholarship and were one of his finalists weren't we?

I mean, I am not defending Moore at all here as they are both terrible, which is evidenced more in watching than the small sample size of their numbers.

The only difference between the two: Moore can dribble. I guess I'd take that over Cunliffe.

Backed off. Chandler's not very good. Supposedly not a hard worker.

Gotcha.

Dedric and KJ don't seem like hard workers either, but impossible to know without inside knowledge.

Dedric is a legitimate 1st Team AA candidate.

No doubt.

Doesn't mean he's a hard worker. Just means he's an awesome college player.

I look at how some of our guys bodies transform under hudy and I wonder why dedric hasn't changed more. Mason, graham, dok, selden, hell even Svi, were all ripped and dedric looks soft to the touch.
