Jayhawks in the NBA

Josh needs a ton of help staying focused. That's not a good fit for the NBA.

That guy's head was all over the place when he was here. Even on the court.

[pdub]

The statement was that he has to figure it out on and OFF the court.
Both can definitely affect each other.

If you say so, Laura Bauer.

[pdub]

For 100 bucks would you host Laura Bauer for a romantic night of alfredo?

Really? He played his ass off on both ends at Kansas. I didn't notice a drop-off when the off-the-court stuff came out, other than when he couldn't play. The guy is a competitor. I think with him and Wiggins that they would have become much better NBA players if they didn't have all the highschool hype

well yeah, 100 should cover the tab at Olive Garden, right?

Certainly wasn't saying anything about his competitiveness. You just had to keep him interested, and luckily we had a good team. Don't think I've seen a KU player get so many technicals. He was easily baited and Bill constantly had to reel him in. Obviously his off-the-court stuff showed his lack of focus His rookie year was also a disaster for that very reason. He's a ticking time bomb on a bad team and needs other people to keep his eye on the prize.

And Wiggs and Josh have a Pacific Ocean-sized gap between them as NBA players.

Wonder how a player would be with Wiggins' God-given ability combined with Jackson's competitiveness and fire.

I don't think Wiggins has a whole lot more natural ability than Jackson.

I also don't think Wiggins is significantly less competitive than Jackson. Wiggins is just sort of shy so he doesn't scream and beat on his chest as much.

Neither seem to have that Kobe-like mentality / work ethic / focus to be the best.

[NDballer13]

One thing Wiggins is significantly better at than Jackson is being on the floor for a 10 minute span where if you were told he was on the bench, you'd believe it.

Ya, maybe....but you've got to be on the floor for that to be possible, and Jackson has trouble even being on the bench (let alone the floor).

He had a lot of problem staying away from foul trouble, especially technicals due to his lack of ability to control himself. It got so absurd that he started getting technicals that he didnt even deserve because the refs were trying to show him who was boss. He missed most of the first half of his EE loss to Oregon due to very avoidable foul trouble.

So yeah, there were on court issues with it at Kansas.

So there has to be something that separates them from one being a Max (terrible contract?) guy playing 40 minutes a game and the other starting the season in the G League. If they are so similar, you'd think the one on the worse team would be able to get more floor time.

Wiggins is better at basketball and isn't a head case?

Bucks PG Eric Bledsoe reported to have some sort of rib fracture that will keep him out for a period of time. Looks like Mason may get a chance to get some reps. He's earned it after his jail sentence in Sactown.

Frank has been seeing minutes and had a really nice game against the Bools.
I'm thinking George Hill is definitely above Frank on the depth chart and the problem is I believe DiVincenzo (combo guard) is probably ahead of Frank too. There just may be a spot for him but I think he's on the bubble right now. Wishing him the best.

[InfiniteJ]

You love them because of their idiotic behavior or because they have a take no shit attitude?
I respect the later, don't respect the former.

A little bit of the former, all of the latter.
