Dook is after Flory?
-
Purdue fans on Badgers game chat were mentioning Flory's name as well. No idea where it's coming from.

Duke people are saying his agent is actively shopping him, including to Duke...
Wherever he does end up, the rumor is over 3 milllion at this point.

Not sure where my end would be financially for Flory but for the best defender in the country it's got to be a big number. Its a pay or someone else does world. He's by the far again the best player that can return to the roster and has now proven his worth again. Pay up and keep your star, if possible
-
Would love to keep Flory. Love his intangibles (attitude, charisma, chemistry)... in addition to his obvious elite talent.
Plus, he's a rarity these days-- home-grown talent.
Rock Chalk!

Iowa St lost one of their top assistants to San Diego as JR Blount leaves to become the head coach. Sounds like he was pretty involved in their success.
-
@bskeet coming in as the top HS center, I think there is a compelling argument that he was severely under utilized last year, with a roster that didnt fit him, but the growth in happiness and court presence this year, in addition to not fouling is undeniable.
If Flory could develop a midrange shot and some threes, which i actually do think is possible, he could do something next year that few bigs have done for KU under Self.
-
Honestly he should just focus on becoming a terror to defend in and around the paint. He has that over the right shoulder hook but that's really it for post moves at the moment. He gets literally everything else at the rim. I don't think we need a jumper/ perimeter shot from him at all, he just needs to become a skilled force in his area. I also think the improved ball handling we've seen from him can unlock him becoming an ISO threat. There's no reason with his athletic ability and footwork that he cannot develop a bag of moves down low.

In important news, Duke’s starting PG and unheralded part of their success Caleb Foster is out with a fractured foot. Can’t imagine he will play this season but who knows.
Patrick Ngongba, their starting center is also out for the Acc tournament with foot soreness.
Whatever helps them lose in the tournament is good in my book
