I think that KJ is going to be the backup center. As in, he'll start at the 4, play there around 20 mpg, but will be at the 5 when Dickinson is out. Braun will play when there's foul trouble. I think Self will see how that works and decide on Clemence after that.

It was interesting to hear him qualify Clemence redshirting. "Probably".

One lineup I found interesting in that game was our speed lineup. Small lineup tho. The 3 point guards and mccullar and kj. Crazy fast and athletic

How tall is Johnny Furphy? I've seen him listed at 6-7, 6-8, and 6-9. He also could still be growing.

Looks like he needs to work on his landing a little. Seems like he fell down after most of those dunks.

Kinda bold to tell an Aussie to work on his land down under.

Of course Braun’s BBIQ was elite-elite, and was apparent right away. So that’s a harsh comp to throw on a kid.

That would be great. Would love to see CB’s cutthroat mindset and Svi’s sharpshooting combined.

Nice call fish! Not only do I think you and Self sort of look alike, you think alike too.

Meanwhile, you and Self are both racist. :shock: : :? :( :lol:
No black players the white boy can be compared to?

How soon before Self tells us the Furph Dawg is young and how many times will Self do it during the 23-24 season? ;)

I didn't want to make a non-white-kid comparison for its own sake...I genuinely couldn't think of better comps than Svi and CB.

Josh Jackson and Julian Wright are who come to mind when I think of high-energy, creative wings. But I think this dude shoots better than both of them (and is probably not in the same league athletically, to say nothing of Wiggs). I think this guy's bouncier than Releford, and handles it better (but doesn't jump or shoot) as nicely as Ben or Brandon or Xavier.

He looks like a pretty version of former Baylor player Matthew Mayer.

Yeah I don't think Oubre really handled it all that much.

Meaning that he's going to dress like a woman?
