Jayhawks in the NBA

It may take some time for him to learn to be a good coach though.
But yea, not ready for something as big as KU.

11-10 last year…so, probably mediocre at best

Self was 6-21 his first season at Oral Roberts. Is that bad at best?
Yes, I know Oral Roberts wasn't good the season before Self got there and I know Free State was very good the season before Sherron took over.
Good, bad, mediocre, whatever, I say seriously - good for Sherron. Maybe not the career path he intended but the guy has a college degree and he's making an honest salary and taking care of his family. That's a lot more than can be said for other people he grew up with/around.

i totally agree

even IF he’s a mediocre (or even shitty) coach, if that’s what he wants to do and can hold a job doing it, then good on him

Embiid doubtful for game 1

Nice to hear the commentator describe Christian Braun as ...instant energy off the bench...a member of the National Champion Kansas Jayhawks... during the Denver v Phoenix game last night.

Watching the Nuggets, you can see why Braun, as good as he is, doesn't get much PT. I didn't see him come into the game, and when I first looked up and saw him my instant impression before I knew it was Braun, was who is that little White guy?

His teammate Murray was on fire las night.

He doesn't always look fantastic in this summary, but...

[randylahey]

They love Christian braun in Denver. Have all year long. Perfect team first role player and he fits their system. His defense rebounding and hustle is pretty elite already for a rookie wing

When he rotated in during game 1, he was assigned to guard Kevin Durant at times. And actually did a pretty good job in spot minutes guarding him

[Shirley]

I was really surprised to see Braun guarding KD, too.

[jhawks99]

Wiggs is having a tough game. Prolly still win though

low ceiling...

[Sparko]

Kid has confidence. He refuses to believe he can't do anything. Just a winner.

[pdub]

Under/over career starts for Braun set at 299.5 and career PPG set at 8.5.

one of my favorite KU basketball t-shirts is the Super K one that came out during his tenure…double meaning and all that

[pdub]

I attended probably 35+ KU games with Keith Langford at AFH.
Dude was a stud.
