Bobby rarely was used as a 1:1 spell for Dajuan tho. He was usually either at the 2, (thus both playing him outta position and also not spelling Dajuan)or came in at the 1 but also with Yes at the 2. (Who might be sort of out of position there ...

Yea, we need: - AA Jalen - Gradey’s jumpers falling - KJ less foul trouble and more production - double double not too much to ask from Mc - Dajuan take care of the ball, and maybe even get a few points on the bored too - bench not look completely lost That’s all to say, yea, this team not much ...

in 5 losses this year Dajuan has averaged 1.8 ppg and totaled 0/0 free throws.

... our guards, jeez. we need them to be able to hit some floaters, maybe even knock down a layup or a jumper. Or, heaven forbid, get to the line. Dajuan has good hands on D, and takes care of the ball I guess. but for a high major blue blood, I think a player like Dajuan should still at least ...

yea, we can't afford to have Gradey AND KJ AND Mc AND Dajuan AND the bench all be off at once

considering what we've seen from Dajuan and Bobby, pretty sure this team's best bet forward is to just give the keys to Yes for like 10-15 minutes a game.

but that in itself says quite a bit about this team

... KU roster. Lots of Big 12 teams have been able to stymie KU's offense. KU’s offense is easy to stymie when everyone but Jalen is sucking. When Dajuan isn't good, we're pretty much toast on offense. Having no other capable ballhandler is a little inexcusable. yea whether it's really planning ...

Dajuan’s been good, but I’d be thrilled if he wanted to drop some BIDH on us

Trying to remember if, with Mason, it may have been opponents playing off him to defend the drive just as much as/more so than simply daring him to shoot, since going hard to the hoop was always kind of his thing. And again, trying to remember, but I don’t really remember Mason really passing up a s...

Yea, sometimes it’s hard to get a good shot off with your boner.

How’s 122 attempts compare to other guards in 2.5 seasons?

Yeah, I mentioned this the other day, this is probably the last year we feel the effects of negative recruiting based on the NCAA investigation. The Thompson, Muscadin (RIP), Jossell, TGF class killed us. That wasn’t even a horrible class, either. a legacy burger, a couple top 100ish guys, and a fl...

I mean, our frontcourt rotation and depth is among the youngest…ever? 2 true freshman, one redshirt transfer in his first year of competition at the D1 level, and 2 sophomores, neither of which is necessarily a true “big” Yeah, I mentioned this the other day, this is probably the last year we feel ...

Yea, nice to see signs of life from our bench. This roster’s felt like one of our less deep ones otherwise (For no good reason.)

isn't Yes's role specifically to come in and try to score, too?

I dunno what else we're expecting him to come in and try to do.

and despite that scorer-off-the-bench role, Self doesn't run much for him, but there's some chicken and egg in there too

Yes’s shot is goofy looking too tho

Part of the issue people think he’s not a better shooter is, when he misses he misses BAD There’s not often that “shooter’s touch” where a miss might just bounce in and out, or just a little short or long. When he misses he’s prone to airballing it or bricking it off the side of backboard or somethi...

If Dajuan makes enough of his wide open shots that defenses start thinking twice about giving him so many wide open shots, it makes our team’s ceiling a lot higher.

... a new look against defenses that are otherwise getting away with hardly even guarding the 1 and playing Yes at the 2 means we're also playing Dajuan and/or Bobby out there, which defeats the purpose of otherwise trying to make defenses adjust. Think of Yes less at the "1" and more ...

Is Yes supposed to get more time at the 1?

Like as a direct sub for Dajuan

Or is it more minutes out there next to Dajuan and/or Bobby?
