Have been listening to talk off Local sports talk program. Saying that Coach Self has gotten EXACTLY what he was looking for this off Season saying that : KU had added more Athletism - – - - More Scoring - – More height - - We now that TRUE PG , Bringing out points like Yesufu very Athletic # 2 man - - -The other transfer that can Score a stretch 4/5 that shoots the 3 really well. - -they said the big thing IS if he can DEFEND then look out.
Depth ? - - my GOD do we now have depth:- -when you can pull if needed guys that on the bench to play - you have Braun for sure - - Harris to relieve - - Petiford - - Martin -Clemence - - Adams - Curry - Mitch can come in and give 4-5 minutes when you can put that kind out on the floor to relieve spot minutes - you Start Ochai - - - Yesufu - - Martin - -McCormack & can’t remember the other - -But dam man
They said the ONLY thing that might keep KU from being a top 3-5 team in the Nation - THE ONLY THING right now is : - -The upcoming NBA Draft. - -How many of these 3 stay in the draft - Ocahi ? - -Wilson ? - - Martin ? - -they said they think the order would be - -Martin the best chance - -then Oachi - - then Wilson.
They said KU now for sure has the Scoring - you got Yesufu that can go get you 15 - - Martin that can go out and get you 15 - - Oachi can go out and get you 15 - - takes a lot of the pressure off Oachi. - If nothing else we can throw body after body after body - - if we can get past this draft with 2/3 we good . - If we gt say Martin & Wilson back - -were good - -if we get Martin & Oachi back - -were for sure good - -if Martin stays in that might change things some but we would still be good not AS good but still good.

Believe he will leave regardless of NBA feedback after next season. He really wants to go pro even if it doesn’t end up being the NBA.
-
First things first, let’s make sure all of these guys are in Lawrence 5 months from now.
-
@BShark Zach Clemence can absolutely play next to Dave. Clemence has minimal low post game offensively and doesn’t have the strength to defend post players. Their games compliment each other very well.
-
I don’t think Zach will be ready defensively next year, especially against smaller and quicker opposition. Not exactly Jalen’s forte either but Jalen is a much better option next year.

I don’t ever expect Clemence to be good on defense because he’s too much of a finesse player. That said, I think he’s better suited to play defensively at the 4 spot because he’s long enough to alter shots even if he’s beaten by quicker players because he’ll still have a size advantage over most other 4’s he’d face. Clemence at the 5 on defense would just get physically manhandled by most post players for at least his first two seasons.
Zach Clemence is an ideal stretch 4 that I think can have a comparable career to Perry Ellis.
-
All in all, this is turning out to be a LOT better off-season than I expected. Remy killed us a couple of years ago when he came off the bench to hit a bunch of clutch shots. Good to have him on our side.

@Marco I don’t think Clemence is ready enough for starters minutes, but I think he’s coming in ready to play 10-15 minutes as a backup.
-
I hope Clemence can give us some minutes this year. But I just struggle to see it. Guy can flat out shoot it though. Always intriguing.
I could see a scenario where Clemence and C. Martin come in if the offense is stagnant and we do some pick and pop/iso ball with Remy. You could theoretically iso him and put Clemence, C. Martin, Ochai and Yesufu on the perimeter in catch and shoot situations. Then you just let Remy go to work and hope he makes the smart basketball play. Very NBA, but it could be pretty effective.

I’m always screaming for more guards and a heavy guard team… but I have to admit I’m excited with our post! I can see us with a big lineup that can work… especially if we get Jalen back. He’s a natural 3. What can happen when we have Jalen at the 3, Dave at the 5… and we rotate Cam and Sydney at the 4? Cam and Jalen can definitely hit the trey while also driving to finish. Sydney looks like a crazy driving force! I wonder how his pass is? He could sure help Dave rack up some easy finishes at the rim! Now we have a dead-eye trey shooting PG who can also drive, and then add Ochai or Christian at the SG… This is looking like one of those teams where we can try many looks… sizes… to see what works with what team!
-
This starting 5 averaged 70.2 pts per game last year - Martin, Yesufu, Agbaji, Wilson, McCormack. KU averaged 73 as a team last year.
Add Braun, Mitch, Harris- 85.7 ppg.
No excuse for this team not being Top 5 on offense

Jalen Wilson is not now, nor will he ever be a 3 at the college level. He is nowhere near athletic enough to guard wing players considering he couldn’t really guard 4’s last season.
Cam Martin won’t see many, if any, minutes next to Dave of Wilson is back because Martin makes McCormack look like Joel Embiid athletically. There’s a reason why Martin went to Jacksonville St. and then dropped down to D2 and it’s because he’s not athletic at all so he and Dave together make KU’s post defense suspect at best.
Sydney Curry most likely redshirts this season because he needs to drop weight to be able to utilize his abilities because he’s not quick enough at his current size to be very helpful this season. He was also recruited with being Dave’s long term replacement in mind and still needs a lot of work on his game to get to that point.
Did KU sign another PG that’s a dead eye shooter because the one that just committed to KU sure as hell isn’t a dead eye shooter unless you consider a career 33.6% 3 point shooter a dead eye shooter.
I’m also not sure why you’d want Ochai or Braun playing at the 2 spot when Ochai has next to no handles and Christian Braun was the 2 last year and was a liability in that spot 90% of the time last season.
KU’s starting lineup next season assuming everyone comes back like they should will be Remy Martin, Yesufu, Agbaji, Wilson, and McCormack. Braun, Harris, and Cam Martin being the core subs with Clemence and Pettiford seeing decent minutes as well.

Maybe I’m over-projecting… it’s nice to have positive thoughts between now and basketball season. Not sure why we would recruit Martin if he won’t see the floor? Especially since he only has one year. Guys like him have sure racked up points on us in the past. He has no business camping in the low post. But he could pull out another team’s 4 on the perimeter, opening up the middle for Dave.
I agree that Jalen needs to gain athleticism because he sure isn’t a 4 at the NBA level. He doesn’t really have the strength to guard the 4 either. Kid needs to muscle up and he should be doing that this off-season.
I think a redshirt would help Sydney. Especially since he has only two years of eligibility left.
I expect Jalen to get most the minutes at the 4… but I was thinking about bigger lineups… something Self seems to be moving away from anyways.

Oh Martin WILL see the floor. I agree they are not going to waste a Scholi on a one year guy if they don’t plan on using him. The big question they discussed yesterday on the radio sports was - -IF he can defend? - If he shows he can he yes will be valuable 4/5 a big man being able to stretch the floor and average 45 % from the 3 point range for sure helps open the flor even more

I’m not saying Cam won’t play. I think he does play plenty as the primary back up to McCormack and spot minutes at the 4 spot on offense if Cam’s playing next to Clemence or Lightfoot. I just don’t see him being able to play alongside McCormack because that becomes a real defensive liability with each one’s lack of overall athleticism and this team isn’t shaping up to be all that good defensively next season, especially considering adding the ISU transfer to seemingly replace Agbaji is a terrible defender.
Jalen Wilson isn’t going to be an NBA player. He’s got a very similar style of game to Perry Ellis and Perry never really came close to making an NBA roster.
-
I can see a comparison of Jalen to Perry about athleticism. But their games are different and Jalen brings a lot more aggressiveness to the game. I agree he needs to up his athleticism to have a chance at the NBA… he can stand to strengthen up and it will help him more than it did Perry to add muscle because Jalen plays aggressive. I’m not saying I think he’ll be NBA caliber. But if he can build his body he has a shot. Not everyone in the NBA is uber athletic. What counts is effectiveness.

And therein lies the current problem (and he had a good season), Dave has kind of become absolete. The makeup and even strengths of this team do not serve his skillset. He should play fifteen, twenty minutes a game - tops. If he plays more (and Bill is loyal, sometimes to a fault) it will not, longterm, be good for the team.

Dave fits better with this group than last season. Last season’s team couldn’t shoot at all to spread the floor and open things up for Dave. This team should be much improved from deep which helps Dave out a bunch. Remy Martin running the show is going to make KU much better offensively than last year.
-
Dave is the best 5 on the roster next year.

As has been mentioned - -Dave will have a soild year next year we need Dave and he showed well through about the 2nd half of the season - -Ku going to be able to spread the floor Dave have more room to operate with the Guards we have Ysufu - - Lands Braun - -Dave is gonna be just fine - it’s still going to be four out and one in and with the improved players we have going to be a lot better scoring the ball - - & like BShark said - -Dave is the best 5 we have and he has gotten better. - He saved our ass multiple times

@Marco Who would you play ahead of McCormack? The D2 transfer that’s less athletic than McCormack? The JuCo who’s about 3-4 inches shorter and nowhere near skilled enough to be a big factor to this year? The freshman who’s softer than a wet paper bag? The 14th scholarship player who couldn’t beat Dave out last season? The stretch 4 who may or may not be back next season?

Dave can and should get all the minutes he can handle.

I’d play and start Dave, just not for more than 20 mpg, mix and match in Martin and Curry for the other 20. The guy is only good for a half anyway. Second half Dave, right?
-
@Marco Sydney Curry is nowhere near ready enough to play yet and there’s a reason why Cam Martin was a low major recruit that dropped to a D2 player. Dave was a McDonald’s All-American. He was also by far KU’s best overall player the last 2/3 of last season and the only reason KU didn’t finish in the bottom half of the B12 last season.
Just because Dave doesn’t play your preferred style of basketball doesn’t justify trying to limit your best offensive player to just 20 minutes a game on a team that’s going to be crap on defense and have to outscore people. Dave has to increase his minutes to near 30+ per game for KU to reach their full potential next season.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 it’s not about his style. He is not skilled or aggressive enough to be called a true 5, yet due to his too high a motor, almost mechanical style nor can her play anywhere else. I am saying, he just doesn’t fit with the current line-up.

All of that is a load of bullshit. You’re contradicting yourself with your own statements saying Dave isn’t aggressive, yet has a high motor. You’re letting personal bias against Dave cloud your judgement on how good Dave is. Dave isn’t the most athletic guy out there and guess what lesser athletic basketball players have to be to succeed in basketball? Fundamentally sound which looks a whole helluva lot like being mechanical.
You also clearly don’t realize that Self has built next season’s team around Dave to play to his strengths. Dave and Remy have very complementary skills to execute a lot of pick and roll this season or to just iso Remy opposite of Dave and have easy dishes to Dave of the defense helps off of Dave to cover Remy. Then you got Yesufu, JCL, and Braun all more than capable of lighting it up from deep. Then you’ll end up with Wilson, Clemence, or Cam sitting in the corner on the same side as Remy waiting for a kick out if their man helps on a Remy drive.
This team will not be anywhere near as offensively challenged as last year’s team was. McCormack will be a 15 and 8 guy and the second leading scorer for KU behind Remy Martin next season.

For a guy who seems to think that he knows everything, you tend to overreach and be wrong quite a bit. I know that they won’t be as offensively challenged, which is one of the reasos why I stand by everything that I said. He was important to our team this past season, and I said so. And he will be an important piece this season too, and will undoubtedly play and should. I just don’t want him to play more than about 20 mpg, tops - and I don’t think he will.
The team has morphed is what I’m saying, completely different personnel for a different style. It is not going to nor it should it be a forcefeed Dave in the post offense anymore. I imagine he’ll average about 9 or 10 ppg, which would put him about 4th on the team in scoring. Wilson - if he comes back - will average more than that and probably even Yesufu, Remy the leader ofcourse. And I haven’t even mentioned Braun, Long, C. Martin or any of the others, but you did and while doing so seemed to think that it validated your point while not even coming close.

Dave was playing good ball by the end of the season. The start was BAD. But he had a great conference season and I think he will have a good 2021-2022 campaign.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Remy to Kansas:
You’re contradicting yourself with your own statements saying Dave isn’t aggressive, yet has a high motor.
I don’t think having a high motor necessarily implies aggressiveness. How many times last year did we pan Dave for his middling rebound numbers or his proclivity to shoot a 12-15 ft. jumper instead of driving to the bucket or his inability to schedule a “block party” ala Doke?
That said, I think there are reasons Dave may not have been as aggressive as he could have been. As you said, last year’s team didn’t have the personnel to carve out space for Dave to operate as well as he may be able to do with next year’s squad, which I agree is being assembled to help unclog the lane.
I think too that Dave was obscured by the shadow of Doke for the early part of last year, trying to hold himself up to unrealistic expectations and trying to be what he isn’t. Towards the latter part of the season you could almost see him emerging from Doke’s massive shadow and playing to his strengths. He also became pretty competent at quickly recognizing double teams and passing out of them. Next year, I think we’ll make people pay big time for using that tactic, which should allow Dave’s more aggressive side to shine.
I think the jury is still out on how aggressive Dave can be, but I wouldn’t conflate a high motor with being aggressive.
-
I can concur with everyone on the Dave topic… just maybe worded differently.
Dave has a big motor in some areas… not all areas. He applied his motor to where he knew he could be effective. He limited himself a bit with this for two reasons: first… he was needed to play a lot of minutes and had to try to keep some energy in reserve. Second… to prevent more foul trouble. I feel certain he was coached into “energy management”… and wisely so!
I read Marco’s statement different. Dave will stick out different from the rest on this squad because he is a specialist. He doesn’t have a broad range of “game.” He’s specialized as a low post, sometimes mid-range, scorer. He has no business putting the ball on the floor often, or doing about anything on the perimeter except set screens. Compare to Cam, who has a soft touch from the perimeter, is tough on the drive and with good handles, and has a range of shots to draw from. I think Dave’s brand of basketball will stick out a bit when matched around the other players.
Texas-Hawk gives a good perspective on how this team may be able to do more on offense, including making Dave more effective by using him better on high ball screens, and getting post feeds from different situations instead of last year, which was just a perimeter, structured and stiff, feed to the post. This year Dave should receive a lot more feeds from people on the move, on the dribble.
We can converse all we want but none of us know how this will play out until they lace up and start playing. It blows my mind still from last year how we largely wasted away offensive potential by becoming a team just based on standing on the trey line feeding Dave. As much as I adore Marcus… he was no point guard. I remain firm with my position that the PG is the most important position on any team, even when you have someone like Doke in the paint. Doke was nothing without Dot! Let’s hope we get a version of Remy - Dave going like we did Dot - Doke!

For a guy who seems to think that he knows everything, you tend to overreach and be wrong quite a bit. I know that they won’t be as offensively challenged, which is one of the reasos why I stand by everything that I said. He was important to our team this past season, and I said so. And he will be an important piece this season too, and will undoubtedly play and should. I just don’t want him to play more than about 20 mpg, tops - and I don’t think he will.
The team has morphed is what I’m saying, completely different personnel for a different style. It is not going to nor it should it be a forcefeed Dave in the post offense anymore. I imagine he’ll average about 9 or 10 ppg, which would put him about 4th on the team in scoring. Wilson - if he comes back - will average more than that and probably even Yesufu, Remy the leader ofcourse. And I haven’t even mentioned Braun, Long, C. Martin or any of the others, but you did and while doing so seemed to think that it validated your point while not even coming close.
Got to differ on Dave’s Minutes - he will still average around 15-18 minutes per, true won’t have to be force feed - the floor going to be a lot bigger this Season - -more spread then even before- But Dave will still be to vital of a piece for this team for only 9-10 minutes -
