@drgnslayr Actually, Cliff hasn’t lost a lot in the mock drafts, which should be unsurprising given how much NBA scouts hate undersized players, so it’s not really a situation I would consider comparable to Turner and Barnes. And I think it’s clear that if Turner chose KU, he’d be putting up much better numbers. He’d get plenty of touches, and his shot blocking is one of the main things this team lacks, but you know all that. Cliff, on the other hand, would probably be struggling anywhere at this point. Even before his suspension, he was doing a lot more thinking than playing. When he starts, he just doesn’t seem to keep up with the flow of the game, and honestly, even if he is able to get back in, I hope Self goes back to playing him off the bench (with starter level minutes). It’s ironic that he was better able to get a feel for a game’s speed watching rather than playing, but if that’s what it takes to get those leave you wanting more type performances, that’s the way it needs to happen.
