I would still like to know whether it is true that Jalen Wilson (in 22-23) scored the most points in modern NCAA history for a guy at least his height, without a single dunk.

I'm not sure our defense improved with him out.
Im not sure he makes as big a difference as people think, on either end. His defense has been a lot better this year than I remember. He changes our play style a lot. Sometimes our offense flows better without him being a focal point to. We are much better offensively overall with him, but we lean on him too much sometimes and it creates less balance and flow

But we can get by without him in an 8 minute stretch with lots of timeouts and breaks. We can't afford to not have him for a whole game
HD gets tired at the end of the stretches he plays and his performance can drop off significantly when he is a little gassed (see his missed dunk last night). He went out after that for a few minutes and was much better when he came back.

I just don't think his conditioning is up to where Self ultimately wants it yet and it impacts a guy his size more to be a.little out of shape. Thats a lot of mass for tired legs to move around.
I recall being profoundly disappointed when the photos of this year’s practices came out and I realized that HD was the same doughy blob he was last year.

Kenpom is still slow to adjust at this point but we're 6-0 and just beat Duke, who is 4-2, and they are ranked ahead of us.

I am confused by the early kenpom rankings. Especially since we've played 3 good teams already (Duke UNC and MSU).

I think he looks a bit leaner. And moves better this season. I'm sure some of that comes from getting more rest

Metrics can be bullshit. Especially early in the season without a ton of data

It's Kon Knueppel

Ken Kaniff is the dude on the old Eminem album skits...that was the joke. Which...isn't that funny now that I have to explain it.


maybe it never was, I dunno, comedy isn't my thing really.

I bet you'll feel even dumber once you realize I was playing along to your shitty joke.

Obviously the guy's name isn't knipple

I doubt it, it would be impossible for me to feel any dumber. this is how I go through life.


good news is I can see Dajuans value...so at least I got that going for me.

1. It’s on the internet, so of course it is.
2. Who cares, it’s cool and entertaining in a non-shit stain way.
