-

Question my fellow Jay Hawks . Just Scrolling through video’s and such and came across library of Christan’s Dunks while at KU , now the question becomes- - - - – — -
Would you agree that Christan is one that has flourished the most in his Basketball career, coming to KU and now with the Nuggets ?- --I mean this kid wasn’t some hot stud coming into College, he played well , turned into one of our better players , and now has went from a bench player seeing a few minutes on the Nuggets and with his work ethic ha managed to become one of Denver’s better players. Moved into a Starting role- -doesn’t hurt at all I mean by playing with Jokic ?- I know spelt wrong but you know who I mean,
Yet the thing I miss most about Christan- -he WAS/IS a DOG - kid has a real edge to him , he has that attitude- - -love it , wish we had players like that on our team now - -He would talk plenty od smack BUT he could back it up-- - not back down from any situation. Showed some of his dunks at KU the clip was asking which one of his dunks did ew think was best. -Mercy he had some emphatic dunks- SHOW TIMe and his reaction to them was like- --GETE down boy , don’t try to stop me- - This is MY TIME. Man I wish we had CB on this roster

Hunter Dickinson has signed a two way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Should be hearing about Dejuan Harris and Zeke Mayo in the next few days as well as each should at least be playing in Summer League.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I am surprised. Pelicans were 21-61 last season. Wouldnt you take a flyer on more raw, high upside guys? Not guys with very specific and limited skill sets. I would have expected him to get a flyer on a more competitive team with a clearly defined role, like protect a lead by trading buckets, maybe paired with a rim protector.
-
@approxinfinity Don’t know enough about the Pelicans roster construction to know their needs. A two-way contract doesn’t guarantee Hunter will spend any time in the NBA. He could spend up to 50 games in the NBA though.
-
Zeke Mayo has signed a deal with the Washington Wizards to be part of their Summer League team and Dajuan Harris will be playing with the Charlotte Hornets during Summer League.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I am fascinated to see how Juan does with talent around him. Hope he finds his mojo.
-
The Brooklyn Nets picked up their team option for Jalen Wilson next season.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 nice!

Marcus Morris update after his arrest:
According to court documents, Marcus Morris allegedly received $115K from the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino via bad checks in May 2024 and never paid it back when the checks bounced. The following month, he took $150K in a similar fashion from the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. There were two felony counts in each case — drawing or passing a check for $1,200 or more with the intent to defraud and theft valued at $100K or more.

I knew when that kid shot at housekeeping with a bee bee gun he was trouble.
-
Dejuan Harris signed a contract to play in Belgium this season.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 nice! Ruffles should start a twitter campaign over there…
Brussels has bridges!

My HS assistance coach was Hadl’s backup at KU. We played 8 man and he would take a snap and run around until we gave up. My oldest brother’s brother-in-law HRC ran in the 100 yard state final against Riggins who was from Centralia (what ever class they were maybe Class
HRC who was about 5’6" and 140 said this behemoth blew them all away running a 9.8 100. which was the state record at the time. Riggins reminds me of Joe Don Looney in offbeatness although Looney ran a 9.7 and was even more loony.

Mario Chalmers just hit the game winning shot in the big 3 championship game. Mario has now won a championship at every level in the USA!
-
Saw a collage of pictures of him in high school, college, professional and Big3. #RockChalk
-
Wowzers! Good for Christian if true!
5-year, $125 million extension $$$$$$
-
Maybe he could play for KU again. How’s that NIL budget looking? lol
Apparently teams are recruiting the G league guys and somehow signing them. Spoiler alert Izzo is not happy about it. -
-
Lots of guys from KU in the pros this year, but seemingly some taking their swan song. Not sure why Och and Grady’s minutes are limited in Toronto, but they are. Wilson doing about the same with the Nets. Embiid’s production is waning as is Higgins…or is it Wiggins? Oubre and Grimes are still productive pro’s but I am way more impressed by grinders who hung around KU and made a name here for themselves like SVI. He scored 28 tonight for Utah!! Braun’s still starting, but not scoring a ton, which isn’t his role anyways.
Oh and in 5 minutes of action Hunter was 1-2 and had a block and 2 fouls and 2 turnovers. That’s a lot of bad to fit into 5 minutes. But those are his only minutes he’s played.

Ingram taking up a lot of minutes that would have gone to Ochai and Dick last year. Can’t say that’s the wrong decision, but it does suck for those two guys.
-
@Kcmatt7 I don’t know how many teams Svi has played for but he comes in the game full of energy and with some serious hops. I remember about four shots from deep with 25% makes.
-
@Zabudda I’m definitely surprised by his pro career. He’s been a good journeyman. I wonder what his college career would have been like if he played somewhere not as team-oriented style of play as KU. If he had played for a not blue blood that let him shoot without abandon I bet his college numbers would have been insane. 15ppg his final year here, but I bet that is 20ppg somewhere else.
