Kansas Crimson

We could go back to Darnell, because college basketball would not be as sacred if the NCAA didn't suspend a poor kid for taking a cheeseburger back in high school.

Ty got blocked.

Just the fact we were within 6 points made me happy. That UK team was far more talented than we were. We could have beat them, but we didn't play well enough.

Definetly thought of as far more talented at the time (even outside of AD), but outside of AD no really notable pro careers....not that we had any guys do big things from that team either.

We can play Marcus at Point and be okay...

Ugh.
I don't think so but have at it everyone else.

He's better than Moore.

True.
But still ugh.

He was fine in that role last night.

I think there's a large contingent on here who thinks a PG can only be 6'2" or less. Sometimes I think Self gets caught up on a PG looking like a PG.

I'm fine with D. Lawson playing the PG role.

Oh, I'm cool with a 6'5 point guard.
Just don't think Garrett, at this point, is that distributor and the guy you want the offense starting with.
Devon 36 minutes a game baby.

MG isn't great as a facilitator, but offensively he's better at that than standing around the perimeter catching the ball wide open and having to shoot it....and like you said, it's hopefully only for 5min a night.

He was Texas Gatorade POY as a PG right? Don’t see it as option 1, but I figure he could make it work.

Even though he has no reliable jump shot, I always feel at ease when Garrett is on the floor.
His ball handling, rebounding and defense are badly needed for this team.

I didn't mean Moore would be a grad transfer after THIS season. He'd have to take summer classed this year to be done after next season with one season of eligibility remaining.

Im not entirely sure what Dedric even said there.

I didn't say he was Plan A or B. But he is serviceable.

Dedric is definitely from Memphis.

The problem is that Garrett’s mere presence on the floor screws up our spacing and rhythm, because he doesn’t have to be guarded.

my pops couldn’t pronounce Ochai’s name

was referring to him as okeechobee

nothing i can do but chuckle to myself and correct him

well if he doesn't have to be guarded, then what's it do to the spacing and rhythm if we put the ball in his hands?
