Jayhawks in the pros
-
@AsadZ that’s great news! Were they ahead or somebody hurt? He proves himself over and over. Guy needs a break.
-
One night after Wiggins shot only 4 for 12 from the field, Embiid goes 3 for 17 in the Sixers’ loss to the Celtics. Ouch.
At least he had 18 rebounds.
-
@AsadZ Wow! That’s great. I haven’t even been checking on him.
-
Found this on a fantasy portion of ESPN:
News: 4 days ago Josh Jackson contributed zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in seven minutes during Sunday’s 110-106 loss to the Lakers.Spin: Jackson barely touched the court Sunday, continuing a trend that has him on the outside looking in when it comes to fantasy leagues. He has been able to put up sporadic 12-team value in the past, but with this little playing time, there’s not much to see here.
-
MONSTER GAME IN CHARLOTTE!!! JOEL SCORES 43 with 15 boards and 7 assists. OUBRE SCORES 35 with 5 boards 3 assists and 4 steals!!! Sixers win in OT.
-
Morris and BMac are both playing on opposite teams in Portlalaland
-
DDot made 2 FT’s for the Bulls!
-
Morris 17 points in his return from injury. BMac played 8 minutes. Wiggins gets 28.
Nice production tonight from some former Hawks.
-
JoJO had a nice game as well
-
@AsadZ look up, wissox posted it

Pretty good night. Joel Embiid: 32 pts 8 reb (32 min) Kelly Oubre: 22 pts 10 reb (41 min) Marcus Morris: 20 pts 4 reb (34 min) Andrew Wiggins: 14 pts 4 reb (32 min) Devonte’ Graham: 12 pts 5 ast (38 min) Ben McLemore: 12 pts 3 reb (35 min)
-
BMac had a pretty good game defensively against the Warriors, on a night when all the media spotlight was on Curry trying to break the 3-point record. Nice to see him get more minutes. I’ll have to pay more attention to the Blazers now that my local cable carries all their games.
-
Devonte Graham is struggling, shooting percentage is dropping. No Zion means he’s being pressured to score more and it looks like he’s pressing a bit.
-
Embiid leads all scorers in the Sixers win over Golden State. 26 points, 9 boards and 11 of 11 from the line.
Wiggins with 20 points for the Warriors, outscoring Steph who only had 18. Second straight off night from 3 for Curry, just 3 of 14.
-
@nwhawkfan Joel had an ugly line at the half. He was 1-10 I think.
-
Devon and Marcus played against each other in Bulls vs Heat game, both got some PT.
-
@AsadZ Bulls getting destroyed by Covid right now.
-
Whoa Quentin Grimes gets a start tonight, the Knicks get destroyed (covid?) but did he ever produce! 7 3 pointers, 27 points total.
-
@wissox holy cow!
-
@wissox did Selden get in?
-
-
BMac 5-6 on threes. 15 points in 15 minutes. I think, like some of the others here, Ben has benefited from Covid opening up playing time.
-
Devonte Graham hit another game winner for New Orleans tonight. This time about a 60’ shot at the buzzer to beat OKC and had 15 for the game.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 70 ft!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Well, 61 feet anyway. WOW !

DG is special, Jayhawks knew dat.
-
Would take 4 more years of DG!
-

Would take 4 more years of DG!
you and me both. what a great guy
-
Devonte at his best - - - WOW
-
Forget about Curry…Devonte Graham is “ruining the game of basketball.”
Now every 12 year old kid will want to chuck it from 60-plus feet !
(Tongue firmly in cheek.)
-
The coolest thing is that DG’s shot came right after the other team tied it up from the center logo!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 wow! That’s amazing!
-
Graham firing up multiple 3’s tonight, 8-12, ending with 26 points. Wiggins played greatly with 27 with 5 3’s.
-
And BMac goes nuts for the Blazers ! 28 points, 8 of 13 from three in a win over Charlotte. Oubre had 18 for the Hornets.
-
@nwhawkfan Wow! I guess I went to bed before checking the late games. I still can’t figure out why he hasn’t been a steady presence on an NBA team.

that’s our boys - -that’s what we like to see. Got to say I thought Kelly would have a good chance to play pro - -just seems he has done bette then I thought but couldn’t be happier for him.- -Good for B Mac , and the of course Devonte – Devonte - - bein Devonte love it - - ROCK CHALK
-
BMac and Isaiah Thomas were the two guys I was really hoping would get a shot. Watched Isiah in person a couple of times when he played for the UW Huskies a while back. Glad to see the Lakers pick him up, if only for a 10-day. He ended up as their leading scorer last night…19 points in his LA debut.
Coincidentally, both were playing at the same time, which kept my remote busy.
-
-
17 points in the last 6 minutes of the game. He’s so good
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich wow! Thanks for sharing that.
Dominated that game offensively from start to finish
-
Jo Jo is a absolute BEAST. - but like they said - -they HAVE GOT TO GET HIM SOME HELP
-

Geez , just mercy. To think and he actually didn’t want to leave KU at the time , wanted to stay but Coach told him he needed to go – MERCY, you can understand he wasn’t gonna help himself anymore in College what a guy
-
-
Cheick played 3 minutes and scored 2 which is half as much as Josh Jackson scored in 21 minutes. JJ’s time must be running out soon. Detroit is 5-24 and he’s hardly played at all since tonight. To me Josh was a kid who didn’t belong in college. He seemed indifferent, had some decent moments I guess, but the rules should have let him go pro. Not sure his problem this year, but again, hardly any PT, goes falling from covid right and left and he still has trouble getting minutes.
-
Nice night for Kelly Oubre with 23, back from a starting role to a sub, but got 32 minutes in the victory. He’s indispensable to that team. Joel Embiid played well but the Sixers lost and are a disappointing .500. The prima donna Ben Simmons can be blamed as his petulent ways have cost the Sixers a chance at being a powerhouse. We want to see Joel win a ring and I thought they had a decent chance with that duo.
-
I feel bad for Joel. He needs a PG to get that ring.
-
Wiggins is one Jayhawk with whom I expected a lot more success in NBA. To me he has underperformed in the league.
I am not sure if this is related to lack of effort or what but wish he could have translated once in a decade type of talent and athleticism he possesses.
-
@AsadZ I guess definition of success is a little vague!! Starter since day 1, 19.5 PPG career average, 4 boards, 3 assists, 42% 3 point shooter this season at least. And starting alongside Stephen Curry on one of the best teams in the league.
I do understand where he’s probably not heading for the HOF or even all star teams that he may be considered a bit of a disappointment, but of all our great players he’s one of relatively rare ones during the last 30 years that has been a steady presence in the league.
-
@wissox I concur that he has been consistent this year. My point is that with his talent he should have been a multi year All Star by now.
