@BShark Maybe Self can pair the bigs together. If you had to split the bigs into 2 primary pairs, what would be the best 2 pairs? The perimeter I think can be more fluid.
I’d play the Lawsons together a lot. Then put Mitch with Doke. But in general I’d try to get the Lawsons as many minutes as possible.
I’m good with that. Mitch hitting 3’s is critical for that to work, I think.
Agree. I’d mostly want to have a Lawson out there. Like…out of the 80 post minutes something like KJ 25+, Dedric 25+, Doke 20, Mitch 10 or less.
Seems like KJ might play all over the court though, as needed.
-
Only 16 first half points in the paint. ???
-
Loved the defensive effort.
-
Vick and Doke felt like ghosts this first half. Weird having the team being REALLY really good, and the upperclassmen looking like the guys struggling hardest to fit into the new identity.
-
Btw, Bahe is doing a pretty good job on color commentary! Like, way better than the guys we have had in the past for this games.
-
Little weave to high low…
-
WOOF
-
Lawson’s old man game is going to settle us down in times of trouble I think…
-
Doke jumps too early on rebounds.
-
Garrett
-
Kansas needs to play defense simply because Dotson in the open-court is devastating.
-
Emporia State’s keeping it interesting. Their post double team is working and will give us something to improve on the next two weeks.

We need Silvio badly.

Doke with the stare-down on an ESU player that’s half his size. lol
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Dok’s frustrated, but I bet they work on the post double team this week.
-
@BShark I’m starting to see what Vecenie was talking about. Of Doke and Silvio, objectively speaking, I’d take Silvio, but they ARE redundant.

Yeah, this roster has 3 guys that have to play C w/ Silvio.
-
This half has been garbage.

-
ESU getting wide open 3s
-
Good pass, Dedric.
-
Dedric makes everything work. 30 mpg imo.

NBA really whiffed on him. Could have gotten him for a bargain. Now they’ll have to take him early in the 1st.
-
I’ve really liked Dotson tonight.
-
Dotson is a dude. He’d be a double digit scorer easy on a team not so stacked.
-
It’s w/e but ESU basically gets to murder Doke and Dave inside lol. Tends to happen when the other team is undersized.
-
I’m really liking Dotson’s play. Dotson to Dedric on the fast break for a layup should be a regular thing this year.
-
The good news is that most of the turnovers are self-inflicted and KU can clean that up. I was expecting some sloppiness with so many new players playing together.
-
I do think we need to slow the pace on O a bit. I know that playing an inferior team usually speeds you up, but this team can’t run and gun this same way all season, imo.
-
Anybody know what the 3P% is right now?
-
SOFT call.
-
Vick still can’t create his own shot.
-
I think you were right about Grimes playing down to or up to the level of competition though.
-
Might not break 80 against Emporia yikes.
-
23 turnovers

He definitely doesn’t feel comfortable on the perimeter or off the ball. He’s used to being ball dominant and in the lane. It’ll take a bit for him to adjust I think.
-
ESU was winning the 2nd half for a second there…
-
I can’t wait to not watch the new Rocky movie.
-
KU 30 Emporia St 29 in the 2nd half. Yikes is right
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Not a Michael B Jordan fan?
-
@approxinfinity No he’s fine. Just looks kind of dumb.
-
Lawson is the real deal, isn’t he?

I didn’t like the first one.

Thank goodness, because the rest of this team…

There you go, Grimes.
