Between these questions and Illy putting Rice in over Gradey, it is pretty clear some of you really don't know Dick.
You don't think Rice has a chance to start?
Gradey is a Top 10 OAD recruit projected in the 1st round of the NBA Draft. He's not some random Dick.
247 has

Dick #24
Rice #25

They're both elite prospects.
They both have very good chances to start from day 1.

Can we compare and contrast their games?

Who has the better touch with ballhandling?

Who’s better at penetrating the lane?

Who’s got the money shot from deep?

Dick handles balls better.

Rice maybe about even with Dick in penetrating.

Dick has the money shot as he might be the best shooter in the entire class.


Rice will remind you a lot of Selden. Girthy body. Selden the better prospect at same stage.

We're making childish dick jokes today. Maybe tomorrow we can do some actual speculation on the actual players.

Sounds like rice just doesn't measure up to dick. Rice is a good prospect. But Grady is potentially some of the best dick thats been on campus in awhile

Dick has been rising for a long time tho. Shooting up the rankings. I think it was rivals that moved him up to #8 overall in their last update. Rice is a very good prosect too but his stock has somewhat dropped. Still a top 20/30 guy tho. Dick might be one of the very elite players in his class tho.

But yes both are very good potential players. Hell if jalen isn't around he might see them both starting next year

There’s going to be a lot of proud dad moments next season when a dad sits down to watch the KU game on national television and he spots his freshman daughter jumping up and down with a big sign that reads: I ❤️ Dick!

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Yeah, but what does that young woman’s lifestyle have to do with KU hoops? Don’t slut shame bro.

Hey if your daughter is going to love dick, might as well be dick with NBA potential.

To make a serious post, Rice being left off of draft boards for 2023 makes me think he is trending in the wrong direction. And senior year trends are usually pretty telling. Mason, Embiid, Graham, Och, Braun skyrocketed. Tharpe, Peters, even Releford a bit, all sunk.

The best thing that Rice has said about KU is that he wants to win a national title in 2023 because he is coming here with that One and Done mentality.

I’ve been meaning to do a Venn diagram of Releford and Braun. Seem like similar players.

Think rice wowed people initially with his physical tools. 6'5ish big strong athletic guard/wing is a guy with a lot of upside. But don't think his skillset is very elite. He's ok at everything but doesn't really excel at anything. Very much like Selden as a prospect
