Kansas Crimson

Kind of gutterish, but I think the biggest hole in our roster might be that go-get-it guard.

But I’ll be less gutterish and optimistically say maybe Dajuan can do it.

Or heck, Arterio and Elmarko are options too.

mjl melted down cuz I said Dajuan appeared physically exhausted during the Tenn game.

... antagonizing him, and instead just ask things like, why does mjl reject any greater context when it comes to to anything from the war thread to Dajuan appearing tired after we got our butts kicked by Tennessee, yet so promptly preach the importance of context when it comes to things like *checks ...

Getting Mc back may be both a blessing and a curse.

We could def use the experience and d

But when we already stand to play a core of Dajuan/KJ/Udeh a bunch, that also means big minutes for yet another non-shooter

... more in a year of NIL than playing anywhere else. But, since every silver lining's got a touch of grey -- if Kevin DID return, then between him, Dajuan, KJ, and Big Ern that's 3, probably 4 presumable starters who still aren't scorers. but, also the chance another year in the system brings out ...

... with MJ, who is the one wing we had remaining, and who was poised for big minutes next year...in contrast with guys like Yes/Bobby being behind Dajuan, and Zach/Cam being behind Udeh/Zuby/KJ but that's prob just fanboy wishful thinking.

Russ was a better shooter, plus like 20 pounds of muscle

Dajuan may be a better pure pg tho.

Both were like Jack Black and KG about that D

... one good 3 point shooter. The game is going that way and this year's team just wasn't consistent from 3. Yea. With Big Ern/Zuby/KJ up front, and Dajuan as pg, let’s just fill 2-5 in between with as many shooters as we can. With Bobby and Joe in the portal, who’s backup pg? Elmarko? Do we hit ...

... him, we prob loose second round to Creighton. Think about that. We were struggling, but Remy just went out and made shit happen. And credit Dajuan for being part of the comeback early 2nd half in the natty. But credit Remy for making some ridiculous shots as the closer.

why not a big who can shoot? wait nm, Cam and Zach already transferred.

but, yea for real.

we only play 1 big at a time, but ideally 4+ doods who can shoot.

Let's go with Big Ern/Zuby/KJ as 5 options, Dajuan at the 1, and as many gunslingers as we can fit in between.

... in mind tho, Bobby made three 3-pointers, ever. In 2 years of D1 ball. In a total of almost 500 minutes of playing time. Three. That even makes Dajuan blush!

I think 18 would best this year's squad, for sure. You're forgetting Devonte was at least as good a floor general as Dajuan, but he had a jumper too The biggest difference between Malik and Gradey was, March McCullar was more solid and better defender but low ceiling. Vick was way ...

... in general. Maybe Jalen, sort of, but he wasn't very efficient. Maybe Mc as a defender, but he didn't even get defensive POY. That went to Dajuan, whose defense maybe was elite, maybe even his floor general status too, but I still dunno if he was really dynamic or consistent enough to truly ...

Gradey all-shooter team

Dajuan all-assist team

Jalen on an all-rebounding team...and shit, all scoring team too?! Feels weird to say, but he DID just surpass the 20ppg mark, which only Simien and BIFM have done...Self era, of course.

not Norm's fault: Jalen and Mc missing the front end of 1-and-1s Yes missing a bored and letting AR get the offensive rebound Dajuan's 5 second inbounds call Dajuan's 10 second half court violation or, do we wanna blame Norm a little for those last two, for not burning a TO to try and ...

nah. we need Dajuan to be the best yet version of himself. Floor general, set up others, take care of the ball, disrupt defensively, hit timely shots. All that, while also mitigating the dumb mistakes in big moments and such. Heck, ...

... to be the winningest Jayhawk of all time, right? But that more than anything is prob just a testament to the covid bonus year. but yea, I dunno if Dajuan is suddenly gonna show up like some All-American sorta lead guard, though stranger things have happened. The thing he does have going for him ...

whoa, yea, I forgot about Garrett. Yea, Dajuan might be a better shooter than that dood. Marcus was only .348 on 66 attempts, but still averaged double digits...guess he was more of a threat to slash? but yea, I agree in principle on hesitating ...

... similar minutes in the same position as him? Speaking of more NBA players and recruiting, non-zero chance that this time next year Self sits Dajuan and throws the Ferrari keys to Elmarko just like Self did with Remy, despite hating the dood otherwise

... than a "2", a la junior Selden. underclassman Selden at the 2 was sort of out of necessity, I guess. But next year, we have Dajuan, plus (as of right now) Bobby and Yes, plus 3 freshman guards who may contribute, and if so, will likely contribute at the 2, which makes the ...
