Gradey Dick Call Your Shot
-
Tall people anyway.
-
He’ll average 30 points and 19 rebounds and change his name to George Marcus
-
Cupboards pretty bare for scorers. We are ranked 9th in con. based on that.

Returning scorers yeah. I’m not worried about it at all. Points will come.
-
The worst team in the Self era (the year before the title) scored 73 a game. This team is more talented than that one.
-
Check out Isaiah Moss’s line. I think that’s pretty close
-
@BShark is that dedric yr?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No. That team scored 76 a game and was a top 5 team with Udoka healthy.
-
@BShark Doke wasn’t healthy long! That Auburn game
-
@BShark u mean 07?

That team made the EE. I mean literally the season before this one. Very bad team. Got OBLITERATED by good teams they faced.

There were 12-7 at one point with a heinous loss to WVU. Thankfully had a good stretch after that before the tournament.
-
@BShark yes, I agree!

I’m going with 7 pts 3 rebs a game on 39% three point shooting. 20 minutes a game.
14 points a game. 39% from 3. 30 minutes a game. You take the low side- I take the high side, and it will probably be somewhere in the middle.
Whe 14 ppg ? - -would be great , just don’t see those numbers as a freshman. He is good all right , BUT big adjustment from High School ball to Big powerful P-5. - - Plus learning Bill’s system and if he which I have seen from him but if he is lax on Defense - gonna cut into his playing time for awhile cause if you don’t wanna play d or your bad at it - -you will gt to know your seat real well sitting next to Bill
He isn’t going to hit 14 a game. I just added 3 points to what I thought he’d hit because a certain banana shark had him hitting 7 a game…lol.

Wonder where MJ Rice is. Haven’t seen him arrive yet…
-
@BeddieKU23 Few more days for him and Zuby
-
I think he’s going to play a few more minutes than 20 a game:
-
I think it will be quite a reach to think Gradey shoots 39% from trey. He’ll need a well-oiled offense behind him to do that and I don’t expect to see that for a while with so many new faces.
I think we need to dampen expectations on Gradey. The kid doesn’t need extra pressure on him. He’ll come around as he comes around. I feel very confident in his skillset. Just need to show patience with him.
-
Anyone know what Self said?
-
“I think if I had my druthers, I would play three point guards every day. I have said all along, I would rather play four guards,” Self said during the Big 12 Tournament. “I’ve changed my thinking, as long as one of them is big enough to defend a four and if one of them can be a lead guard. And the more lead guards you have is positive, as long as one of them has got to be able to shoot.”
Only direct quotes from it which mention to what he said in the Big-12 tournament.
-
Self can play 2 smalls with McCullar/Wilson or throw Dick/Rice into the fire and see who sticks. We’ll see how they settle in but anytime you bring in two 5 star wings they don’t expect to sit. Not sure we get both without having the necessity or playing time availability. I think pressure will work itself out. They know they have a shot to earn a spot early
-
I read we will be lead by wings again (like we had with Och and CB). JWil is really a wing, too.
I sure like our offense from last year. Decent ball handlers, 1-4, to finish in the open court and the half court offense depending more on drive and kick versus hi/lo feedbacks for the trey.
Gradey is perfect for filing in this role… great form on the trey, capable and aggressive for driving.
The challenge will be with converting McCullar to this style and have him be effective. But the challenge is on him to improve his shot. His NBA future is at stake.

well hope there is nothing to the no show - - -probably not

The 2 frosh just graduated this week.

@BShark that ‘07 team was pretty salty…was my first thought. 2021 was not a fun team to watch, completely pushed it out of my mind.

Completely agree. @Crimsonorblue22 how could you think I’d rate that as a bad Self team? lol

After seeing MJ, I think your 20 minutes and 7 ppg for Dick are probably right. MJ looks like a man playing against kids out there.
