Darryn Peterson

Ha, his birthday reminds me that I was only 17 when I started at KU.

It used to be that you had to sit out your freshman year in order to "adjust" to college.

@JoJoAndMe important to let grown men just be goofy kids now and then, whether they be a day shy of 19 or whatever age. Hell, we are all congregating here around a game! We are all kids at heart.
I really enjoyed watching the vid of the guys celebrating as they ran into the locker room.

I have to say I had complete confidence that Darryn was going to score everytime he had the ball during his 23 min of playing time against the Bears. 26 pts on 11/13 shooting; and 2/4 from 3. Flory came to play, but KU still needs a consistent 3rd and 4th scorer.

ESPN doesn't include DP in its ranking of the top 25 freshmen. He's at the end of the list in his own category: "Elite when they play."
I would hope this would light a fire.
-
@stoptheflop Tre and Melvin are the 3rd scorer by committee. I love the way Tre is a foul-seeking missile at the end of the shot clock. And Melvin is a bit like a lighthouse -- blinding bright, but sometimes goes dark... Together they are great.

He’s unreal dude lol

Now that we have seen an extended version of DP it’s pretty obvious that he was definitely slowed to start the season. He’s moving so much better defensively and without the ball on offense. I’m hoping to make it to a game this season when he plays. I tell people you can see so much more of what is going in person compared to TV angles. I thought that watching Wiggins and Embiid in AFH. Remember Wiggins in the game I went to missing a block, coming back down and actually getting the block before the opposing player even moved.
-
not to bring up bad memories, but what was the scoop with DP late in the last game? Haven't heard, but did he beg to come out again?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk he asked to come out, not begged. I think Self said they may need him to go back in.
