Boy, these sure don’t seem too secret…
-
@Hawk8086 my question is WHY - -are they secret? - -what’s so secretive about them lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
-
@BShark Silo Tech handled them.
-
@KUSTEVE Eh, 5 points. That said these scrimmages are weird. What stuck out to me though is Bol Bol is still as soft as ever. 7’0’’ and 1 rebound in 24 minutes? Yikes.
-
@KUSTEVE your Shockers beat a small Christian D2 school 75-64 last night. 10 minutes in it was 15-15. Might be a tough year for your boys.
-
@BShark when Bill said he was going change the lineups, I wonder if Garrett gets a start a pg, or if KJ starts at the 3.
-
There’s no crowd, and weird start times. Note that the KSU - Oregon scrimmage tipped at 10AM.
There are also weird rules, weird timing and just overall weird setups. For instance, there might be an agreement between the coaches that starters will play for 5 minutes, then subs for five minutes, then starters for five minutes. Most teams don’t stagger their playing time like that, so it makes for weird results when all bench guys are in, or a starter that will play 28-32 mpg only plays 10 or 15.
It’s mostly a chance to get some run against good competition.
-
@KUSTEVE maybe doke? Small lineup. I think he was really happy w/Dotson
-
KU needs to experiment with a small lineup of Lawson-Lawson-Garrett-Grimes-Dotson/Moore.
I would kick the tires on a K. Lawson-Garrett-Grimes-Dotson-Moore super small lineup.
These scrimmages don’t give you much opportunity to do a super big lineup because the opposition doesn’t have that kind of size.

This, but without Moore and you could throw Vick in there for Grimes or Garrett and not loose much could easily be KU’s best line-up this season.
-
@BShark @justanotherfan Or you could run Grimes at PG and not have a player under 6’5 and literally switch everything. Could be deadly on both ends.
Grimes - Garrett - Vick - Lawson - Lawson
-
That also definitely works.
-
Or even running Garrett at PG and letting him just go ISO while the other 4 are ready for a catch and shoot. We may see the return of some bad ball this year.

Having Shamet leave early really hurt them.
-
@BShark do you think he wants to get his frosh as much prep work as possible though?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Marsha? He’s got nothing but FR basically.
Most WSU fans I know are thinking this team might not even make the NIT.
-
I wonder what happened to nAtIoNaL pLaYeR oF tHe YeAr CaNdIdAtE Markis McDuffie.

Nope, still on the roster as a SR. WSU fans assured me he was a NPOY candidate and would leave early for the NBA. LOL.
-
@BShark no Self.
on Marsha. I watched part of that. I heard he threw a lil fit, dang I missed that!
-
Yeah, he had another tantrum. Embarrassing.
-
@BShark Dang it. Like @Crimsonorblue22 I missed it, too. Can you give us any details??
-
No tears for the Koch Zeroes.

Sorry I didn’t watch it. Heard all about it from WSU people that hope he doesn’t do that crap in a real game.
-
I’d rather see Quentin Grimes get some time at PG than Marcus Garrett. I’m not sure Garrett handles the ball well enough to be effective at point.
-
@stoptheflop Grimes is smooth. Both he and Garrett do a great job of keeping their heads up and on a swivel while dribbling.
-
“I just feel like my life I’ve always played with the ball in my hands,” Garrett said. “Last year we had such good scorers and things like that, I didn’t need to play with the ball, I just had to play off the ball and do the little things. So it’s always been comfortable for me to play with the ball and score like that.”
Quote from Garrett recently.
