boy do I wish we had two proper starting-caliber guards

5 fucking points

Harris seems to have taken a step back unfortunately.

it sucks that we have to start a true freshman.

it also sucks that our 5th year senior 3rd year starter with national championship pedigree still only averages 6 fucking points a game.

(wait, apparently as of right now it's all the way up to 7.1. Still down almost 2ppg from last year. How the fuck does that happen?)

15 games into the season, and he's only scored double digits in 4 of them.

I also have no interest in discussing any players who may have been on this roster prior to the start of the season.

and not only that, he just can't break down defenses, or get in the paint, or do much off the bounce. It's a wonder he gets as many assists as he does!

Dajuan has always been dajuan. A good role player with an oddly specific skill set that just isn't that athletically talented

There was a reason self took a risk recruiting arterio morris. A guard with that blow by game changing quickness is what this roster is missing

Maybe elmarko can grow into that but still seems a little lost

Shut up randy.

Short of numbers. Self needs to develop guys again. And keep them. It is going to be a crazy year of sell outs for schools who have never had exciting basketball played there before

that's what bugs me about Dajuan.

Has he even developed?

Or put another way, has he even improved?

His assists are up a bit. But scoring, rebounds, steals down, turnovers up. 2pt and overall fg% way down. He IS getting to the line all of .1 more times tho. And shooting 3s at an impressive 48%, tho that may come down once factoring 0-3 tonight.

this is a 5th year senior you guys.

I also kinda wonder if maybe we should try starting Furphy at the 2.

It’s not what I expected to see. I thought we would be looking at 12 PPG with a little better ability to attack the basket. That’s not there.

You can’t fix his flat 3 point shot that he can hit but needs a lot of space to shoot it at this point. His floater is his game and that’s just not falling.

I don’t think it matters if Furphy starts but he’s looking like he should get more clock. I think Elmarko wasn’t prepared for an environment like that ( sold out road B12 game ).

Dajuan peaked awhile ago. He just ain't athletic. Good role player, but needs to play with more explosive players or we look unathletic real quick

Our freshman have talent, but they look like kids. They're bodies aren't developed yet and they get beat up by older stronger players

I'm melting down pretty good but I also realize we often suck this time of year even with experienced rotations.

We're dealing with a lot of new guys this year, and a lot of youth.

give it a few more games and I imagine some freshies will start to look different

I hear ya., but he ain’t wrong on this one.

it's not a matter of right or wrong.

it's a matter of shut up.

Death. Taxes. And Qusdahl showing up after a loss to blame Dajuan Harris.

Arterio was a 11 MPG, 1/1.2 A/TO, 40% FG shooter who maybe raped someone.

He most certainly hadn’t shown anything before that would prove he’d have helped us tonight.

Harris and Elmarko were the worst players out there tonight and that’s even with a ho-hum it’s on ESPN plus so no one is watching me Hunter just casually walking around.

I seriously have to ask....do you watch the KU games? All of them?

Because Furphy has not been great. He's a walking mistake waiting to happen.

Elmarko has been so much better than Furphy. Not even close.

Not tonight.

How come so many analysts who know a lot about college basketball widely consider Dajuan one of the best PGs in the country?
