He is having a similar season as Svi did last year.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:45 pmWhich played into why I expected more. Vick had to have done something to convince Self he wasn't returning as the same person/player.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 2:07 pm Well, Self didn't exactly welcome him back with open arms. He was extremely hesitant.
I'd have taken Devonte in a heart beat over Vick and same with Malik.PortlandHawk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:06 pm I’m sure someone has made this point but it should be reiterated: Vick isn’t reliable but if we had only one of Svi, Malik, Devonte, or Vick last year, we probably would have felt similarly. It helped to have 4 great-to-good shooters at one time. We don’t have that luxury really. Every three from Vick is needed and ones from Ochai, Grimes, Dotson, and Garrett are gravy at this point.
If they are in a spot with a must have 3, is Agbaji the 2nd option? For a 40% shooter, I'm just not fully confident in Dotson taking a 3. To his credit, he takes good ones to help his percentage. Release is just a touch slower than the rest in a situation where the defense is guarding the 3 point line.PortlandHawk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 4:06 pm I’m sure someone has made this point but it should be reiterated: Vick isn’t reliable but if we had only one of Svi, Malik, Devonte, or Vick last year, we probably would have felt similarly.

Good to know people understand my jokes...
I agree. We are flawed but still good. Add Silvio back in(praise the most high it happens) and we can go back to being somewhat like we were before Dok was hurt. Silvio could be even better than Doke in some respects(rebounding and free throws) which could be interesting.

Dotson
Grimes
Garrett
Detric
David Mac
Vick - Sixth Man

There are games that he disappears. 35 minutes per game may be too much for Vick. He is a scorer who isn't scoring. Focus him.
I don't buy that Lawson can't play with another Big. He did okay with Dok. He hasn't played many minutes with David. He has played ZERO official minutes with SDS. Take David's name out and replace with Agbaji.
