Dajuan let her nuts hang!

Without Jalen, I wonder how much small ball we’ll see.

Cuz even with Jalen, we had a 6’8” elite rebounder on the floor.

But Christian Marcus Bryce Och Dajuan seems like the kind of lineup to run a 14 seed out the gym

Even if we were on his list, and even if he committed, would he be an impact player any time soon? Like is a true freshman gonna beat out Dajuan? Dotson woulda. He was the no. 4 overall PG. Yeah, but we didn’t know that until Dotson did Dotson things. If he was part of next year’s class, we’d ...

... down 2 guys that should be back for the big dance. Though it’s not the best time to tinker with lineups, it gives us a chance for some reps to Dajuan and Bryce, when it’s become more and more apparent we’ll need the guard play going forward (and Marcus may be better off the ball) It’s a prompt ...

Jalen
Marcus
Haunkey
Och
Dajuan

Bryce in quick for whichever of Haunk or Och is standing around more.

Lots of slashers with room to roam.

Dajuan will only get better too.

And it’s kinda weird to say but Jalen’s got handles too

We’re balancing Dajuan’s potential contributions to the massive unknown of bringing in a senior transfer and expecting them to learn the system and be noticeably better in one year, though.

It seems just as likely we bring in a guy like that and bury them on the bench behind the known commodities.

I can’t imagine a transfer guard would be able to come in and make a bigger splash than Dajuan and Bryce are poised to...

DMac or Landen?
Jalen or Perry?
Haunkey or Kelly?
Och or Selden?
Marcus or Frank?

Dajuan, Mitch, Tristan, TGIF - or - Devonte, Jamari, Svi, Brannen Greene?

DMac or Dedric?
Jalen or sophomore Marcus?
Haunkey or (Vick)/baby Och?
Junior Och or Quentin?
Senior Marcus or Freshman Devon?

Dajuan, senior Mitch, Tristan, TGIF - or - Charlie, KJ, junior Mitch, freshman DMac?

... style, and perhaps one of this team’s strengths (if there are any), is that we’ve got a lot of serviceable handlers. Marcus, Jalen, Christian, Dajuan, Bryce should all be able start a break. As soon as one of those guys gets the ball, just go! Och too, but maybe not as much, and maybe Och should ...

... try and actually move the ball, perhaps, than certain other guards otherwise standing around. I think maybe he could at least played a rich man’s Dajuan role, and Dajuan got some minutes and even a start within the past few weeks of wondering wtf this team is doing.

Hey Dajuan!

The headband and the sleeves?

You sure?

... which is rare to say for a 6’8” tweener forward. Plus, it would get Marcus off the ball more without having to play another non-shooter in Dajuan?

Didn’t Dajuan start the season with like a 10:0 assist:TO ratio?

... may be not simply that none of that’s happening. It’s that it we’ve seen it happen, but not any more? Marcus totally can finish at the rim. Heck, Dajuan’s first few games he looked like Steve Nash or something, just dribbling around until he got someone else an easy bucket.

oh, and how much do we really want Marcus and Dajuan on the floor at the same time?

I have confidence in Och and Haunk, especially if either of them are halfway open.

And Jalen’s in s a slump, but he still was my favorite player, until Dajuan challenged that title with that attempted dunk

This team has a lot of talent, but still needs to turn a corner

And shoot some fucking 3s!

Put Dajuan in and have him run to the basket then dish it out
