Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Come to think of it, Self has never had someone go from 30+ mpg starter to bench player the next season, barring some off-the-court situation. And even those players (Wilson, Morningstar) got their spots back eventually.
Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Morningstar got benched in a hurry once X got to town
But the difference there is installing a lotto pick at the wing, versus being the lead guard expected to know the entire offense

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
I'm not sure Self's ever been more in support of a second year (eligible) player than Harris.
I think the people who don't like Harris need to prepare for the Harris-era of KU basketball.

Well. On the bright side. Every 4 year guard we've had here improved their jumpshot. Seems like our staff does a really good job with improving people's shot. Let's hope they can do that with dajuan. He could turn into a really nice little college player if he becomes a shooter

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Dajuan has a weird little hitch in his shot though. So it'll be tougher to improve his shot than someone with more normal mechanics. I remember someone on here compared his shot to Shawn Marion's lol

Yeah. It was funny cause its true. Different but they both have that same kind of weird little hitch in their shooting motion.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 11:47 ami did…but only in general appearancerandylahey wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 11:34 am Dajuan has a weird little hitch in his shot though.

Shawn Marion is not the pro you want your shot compared to

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
i distinctly remember jr. high b-ball practices where we’d spend like a half hour (at least) working on mechanics
no hoop, just a teammate standing 10-15 feet across from you, and all you did was “shoot” it back and forth. i’d also spend my evenings laying on the living room floor doing the same thing, but to myself, just focusing on follow-through and release
maybe i’m just getting old, and these sorts of things aren’t done anymore

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Whats funny is this. Dajuan harris is going to continue to get stronger and improve his skillset. He already does a few things very well. He could end up being one of the all time favorite Jayhawks for a lot of people. And this is coming from someone who bitches about him as much as anyoneCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 11:38 amYes, I can still bitch, though. That's why we're all here.
Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Or Self just likes playing guys who run his offense, take care of the ball, and play defense.
Yes, Self loves guys who do that. I don't blame him.

The staff tweaked Och's shot and now it's a thing of beauty, and much quicker.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 12:04 pm i distinctly remember jr. high b-ball practices where we’d spend like a half hour (at least) working on mechanics

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Whatever happened to just recruiting guys who can already shoot?
Of all the available guys in the world, we’re going on 4 straight seasons of our starting lead guard not being good from deep.

i thought he had a pretty good jumper from the start
if so, they need to apply that methodology to CB’s molasses stroke

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Braun and Wilson don't get the open looks that Harris does. Also, I can't really help you if you don't see the connection between teams walking away from Harris and other players not hitting shots. But please, stay on the Harris bandwagon -- I'm certainly he'll lead KU to multiple Final Fours before he graduates. He's a star.Mjl wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 9:24 amBraun and Wilson can't hit open 3s either.hasbeen wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 10:23 pmOne reason why that three point shooting is so weak is the PG you defend with your life gets wide open looks every game and still shoots 31%.Mjl wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 11:52 am
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
I think our outside shooting is a significantly bigger problem than our point guard. We needed some improvement there from Braun and Wilson. They got worse. The Atlantic article talked about it. Teams just need to faceguard Ochai. They can let everyone else shoot - not just Harris.

Re: Kansas v Texas Official Gamethread
Has become even more apparent in conference season. It also affects Dave's space.
Unfortunately, going to have to live with it unless a full recovery by Remy gets him cookin' (and Bill plays him).
