Kansas Crimson

... ready to double/triple team. Every defender within a step of the paint, daring everyone on the perimeter. Just a screenshot but the guy defending Dajuan HAS HIS BACK TO HIM. Like facing the complete opposite direction while also several steps off

I did not. Ah. To your point that he’s been playing better, I noted that Dajuan has indeed scored double digits in like 6 of the last 8…yet his team still has just as many loosses as wins in that stretch, and he also has made only one 3-pointer in the last 6 ...

And sorry, I don’t mean that as shitting all over Dajuan. He’s a good piece to have. But after 2 straight seasons of playing a major role but the teams still being kinda meh; of not really improving individually; of “but he makes everybody else so ...

... lead guard for us that our best teams have and we sure could use next year, and by the end of the year you might end up playing more minutes than Dajuan, cuz as much of a crush as I have on him, I like winning even more. But to do it, you’re gonna have to lock yourself in the gym and work your ...

jeez.

I don't think it's inappropriate to observe that.

BTW I've also cheered on Dajuan several times in this thread when he DOES go up toward the hoop with it.

yea.

we're so much better when Dajuan/our lead guard goes toward the hoop looking to score

KJ is shooting 61% from the field. That’s good. I should have clarified 3 point shooting. Dajuan shoots 3s at a good percentage but not often. KJ has hardly shot 3s at all and has never even made one. I still think they’re both solid enough pieces that Self can fuck ...

if Dajuan was a near perfect fit for the guys he played with then either he and/or KJ would be good shooters

Now someone guttermeter me up

Why didn’t Self just sit Remy and play Dajuan the entire second half of the natty then?

... when Self handed over the Ferrari keys and Remy started draining these ridiculous step back 3s Then, after sitting for crunch time, Self puts Dajuan back in, and Dajuan goes full “even tho I’m a good pg I’m prone to complete bonehead turnovers anyway” Dajuan and promptly dribbles it out of ...

I’m glad Dajuan is looking to score more But does anyone else think he almost always looks awkward and off-balance and uncomfortable when scoring? It’s like he’s trying to make a shot look way more difficult than it is, whether ...

Did he ever have an idea? He’s a failed coach turned catchphrase guru

I’m pleased Dajuan’s ppg is slowly on the up-and-up tho too

Man, I wonder the accolades if Dajuan was averaging a couple more buckets, like 12ppg or so even, like we thought he might since last year, and like upperclassman veteran returning starters tend to do

Bilas: “Dajuan need to shoot that ball”

I was gonna comment how our PG’s numbers have regressed since last year, and at a 5th year senior still hovering around so many other guards’ underclassman numbers

Then I realized Dajuan and Dejuan must be different players

Here’s one other difference between Dajuan and the EJ/Tharpe/Garrett end of this discussion.

All those other dudes were basically one-and-done as lead guards at KU.

We’re on our 3rd year of Dajuan starting, with a 4th year likely

nice floater Dajuan!

Dajuan missing a wide open layup

but KJ saving our butts

I want a UK sort of game outta Dajuan.

Feed me that crauw!

Once again, and like absolutely everything else on the boreds, fish and I are pretty much seeing eye to eye here.

St. Dajuan the Steady lol

I didn’t even know he was Catholic!
