Well, you were a dumb ass, so you only have one option. I'm smart and had him pegged correctly.
Do better analysis next time.

If what I said equates to thinking he should be the starting PG (Which, I never even came close to suggest he have as many minutes, let alone more than last year.), then what you're saying about him is that he should be sitting between Teahan and Jankovich. Apparently there's no middle ground.hasbeen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:49 amNo one hates him because they don't want him to be the starting PG at the University of Kansas. Unless you're related to him, this protect-at-all costs stuff is super weird.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:41 am If he can bulk up a bit, what's stopping him from having a RussRob type of career? The IQ is there. Doesn't force anything. Plays defense. 3 A/TO and how many assists were taken away by the team only being mediocre, at best, from 3 last year? Struggles when having to switch onto bigger guys? Who doesn't? That's why teams look for mismatches. Seems like people want to hate him because he's not a guy to go out at get 20 points.
How many of those 2 assists per game came off him breaking the defense down and creating for someone else? How many came on basic passes within the offense? I'd bet more came from the latter, which is fine, but any guard playing meaningful minutes on a top 3 team needs to be better than "pesky" at some things and god awful at other things.
I don't care how many points he scores a game but it is difficult to play him if the defense doesn't fear his ability to score. But what is most important is that when the offense breaks down, he's able to beat his man off the bounce and get a lob for Dave or a 3 for OA in the corner. If he can go do those things, he should and will see the floor. I know he didn't have that ability last season and don't expect him to this season, but I hope I'm wrong.
I hope this Harris criticism isn't too traumatizing for you. You're in my thoughts.
As I said, if he's able to do things he couldn't last year, then he should see the floor quite a bit. If he can't then you're absolutely right about my position, there is no middle ground and he should be attached to Teahan's hip. The reason for that is this season we have Remy Martin and last season we didn't. I hope this helps.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:44 pmIf what I said equates to thinking he should be the starting PG (Which, I never even came close to suggest he have as many minutes, let alone more than last year.), then what you're saying about him is that he should be sitting between Teahan and Jankovich.

I think Dok was just that big of a factor. The lobs were obviously easy assists but Dok commanded so much attention on rotations when he rolled to the rim that assists all over the court were much easier.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:56 pm I still don't get how his Assist #'s dropped by 20% when going from co-PG to the PG.
Even loosing Dok, even with defenses sagging, and being guarded by a 1 instead of a 3, don't you pick up a couple dimes per game just by being the primary ballhandler for 33 mpg instead of 18?
I also thought Garrett was more effective getting the ball when moving side to side (like he could with Dotson) as opposed to initiating from the top.hasbeen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:40 pmI think Dok was just that big of a factor.

Always seemed to me like he was one of those guys who just doesn't love the game of basketball.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 9:53 pm Man, Enaruna was such a disaster at KU. I thought he was going to be amazing.
I have never met him in person so I have no way to judge that. But his lack of improvement since being at KU was sort of strange.InfiniteJ wrote: ↑Thu Jul 08, 2021 8:51 amAlways seemed to me like he was one of those guys who just doesn't love the game of basketball.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 9:53 pm Man, Enaruna was such a disaster at KU.
