... he can get away with more of a scoring small guy as long as he’s got others on the court who can bring the ball up. Related: do we see more of Dajuan and Yes on the floor at the same time, or more of one as the spell for the other?

yea, even I give more credit to CB than Dajuan.

twocoach been drinking the Qoolaid.

If Tyshawn passed expecting Elijah to just hold clock, why didn’t Tyshawn just hold clock anyway?

Either way, which is the bigger lapse in PG awareness - Tyshawn’s pass attempt, or Dajuan stepping outta bounds?

yea. I think Dajuan can still have a big role doing what he's done. but I also think any rotation including Dajuan has a much lower ceiling without some second option at ball handler who is also a threat to score. Ideally someone ...

wait, do we think Dajuan's minutes are in jeopardy?

... my question then is, who scores next year? If any of the upperclassmen return, gotta think they'll be top options. Otherwise, we got guys like Dajuan and KJ, who are good pieces and defensively minded, but not really offensive juggernauts. Bobby has a lot of potential as a pure PG, it seems, ...

so, we have no idea who will be back and such yet. The most likely: Dajuan - starting PG from a championship squad with 3 years of eligibility KJ - versatile athlete who can guard anybody, most minutes among freshmen this year Still pretty likely: - Bobby: ...

without Dajuans Defense that natty isn't possible either. You have a very specific type of basketball play you look for and large blindspots in your appreciation for success. I never said I didn't appreciate Dajuan's defense, ...

as has been suggested, I just dunno if any rotation's ceiling is high with Dajuan playing like 38 a night. The success of this tourney run came as much as anything from being able to give Remy the keys to the Ferrari for long stretches. Without those 3s raining ...

... of a combo guard to be able to be thee only guard out there for stretches, right? Yeah pretty much anyone will have to be able to play alongside Dajuan, but we need someone who can play instead of Dajuan, and be the only small handler out there for stretches too. yeah definite 09 vibes. Lots ...

Dajuan has been here for 3 seasons, his weight and shot seem to be what they are. His shot problem looks to be less Aaron Miles/Tyshawn Taylor and more Marcus Garrett. He's a 37% 3pt shooter. On how many attempts? In a sense, ...

... he’s gotta at least do something at some exceptional level. His rebounding may be that. He’s got above average handles for his size too. If Dajuan develops a floater, that would be so rad. Or a jumper. Or more of a finishing game at the rim. Or, as generally as possible, just even pretend ...

Yea.

If Dajuan played 35 minites against Creighton, I’m not sure we advance

CB tried to lob it to Dajuan lol

Then Dajuan throws it away

Last game didn’t Dajuan play like 18 minutes and Remy like 28?

That’s about right.

I’m cool with Dajuan continuing to start. We’re still a top 10 lineup with him. But Remy is the much better guard, and the lead guy we haven’t had for much of the season who might very well be the difference between “just” another ...

Dajuan is a curiosity cuz it's like Self realizes his low ceiling, but still wants to balance that with his urge to play Dajuan 39 minutes a night for the next 3 years.
