Early season feedback on kuballin’s off season analysis
-
I have to give kuballin credit on his Zeke analysis. Kid is a baller and can handle. Def is translating to p4 thus far. I think kuballin has softened his stance on Juan, and Juan has done well this year with a slightly reduced role and more scorers around him. Also, our defense hasn’t been a dumpster fire, def has plenty of room to improve but the effort has been there.
-
Juan is awesome. Game goes to hell when he is out but I am hoping Shak can change that.
-
@approxinfinity Yeah Juan’s job is don’t turn it over…ATTACK from the tip and score when needed
He’s done these things especially against msu second half.
I also saw him defensively turn it up granted it was Oakland but if that’s the Juan we get against Duke…mark it down - we will win
Juan and Shak/Diggy are good 1-2 punch at the pg spot
Juan isn’t my favorite pg clearly and he’s be baddd at times but for this team with 30 mpg instead of 35-38….he can easily be what we need!
Zeke was easy to peg because he can win one on one and get his shot off at anytime (even against tourney teams). He’s better defensively than @Texas-Hawk-10 said and his rebounding has been outstanding
Zeke’s a baller and effects the game even when his shot doesn’t drop
-
Let’s leave pegging to the marvel universe.

@dylans oh dont be modest, you can tell us you are a master at peg solitaire

Well then, go fuck yourself too!
Seriously not joking. You’re the worst.

I’m close to going full KUballin10. That’s the most upset with basically a 20 point win I can remember being. There is a lot of truly alarming stuff happening that sometimes makes me wonder how the hell Bill won so many games.
-
@BShark Friendly confines of AFH covers many sins lol. It’s why we are so great in the regular season and haven’t gotten to the mountaintop as much as we’d like
Bills stubborn but hopefully he pulls the right strings like in 2022
-
@kuballin10 had some convos today and sounds like Bill is testing the new guys to see how “tough” they are with how they respond to being yanked. What is very interesting to me is that Zeke is immune to it seemingly.
-
i missed the analysis. @BShark not happy with last night’s performance? What bits and pieces have you worried?
I stated earlier that we’re not getting Griffen and Storr involved in any good way.
Some things of worry, but it was a worthy opponent.
-
Offensively we got pretty much whatever we wanted. Just missed, conservatively, about 30 open 3s. Bill is still doing a ton of tinkering and again nobody played more than 30 minutes. Would’ve been even more evenly distributed had Flory and Shak been more available. I’d think about a few tweaks here and there but it’s tough given we haven’t played a single game with our top 8-9 totally healthy.
-
I’m annoyed with Bill, not our performance. I’m just a dummy and I’ll get over it lol.
-
From what Bill was saying, sounds like we very well could see more and more of Hunter & Flory on the floor at the same time

Do you think it’s possible his act is growing tiresome after all these years? Have we all overdosed? Time for a new regime, or is that blasphemous?
The winning is nice
-
It needs some work, but the potential is there on both ends. The biggest thing defensively is that Flory and Hunt cannot camp in the lane at the same time so if there’s a stretch 4 on the floor that’s an issue. I pointed this out in the Mich St game how it was an issue, KU just got lucky the stretch 4 missed all his 3’s. On offense, just about every possession I can recall has ended up with a Hunt/Flory dunk. Hunt’s passing ability if he’s in the high/low action has been deadly so far.
-
@BeddieKU23 Against a lot of teams I am not sure if we can get away with it on defense. Flory is still totally lost on that end but I think works best as the main big.

Definitely a method to the madness but I watched this game and I saw guys overthinking instead of just playing basketball. The new to the program guys especially. Now, I don’t watch every game for other programs but it seems to be much less of an issue integrating new players from what I’ve watched of other teams.
Some people will blab about Bill’s “system” but I think that is largely bullcrap and he needs to get with the times a bit given how many new players we seem to have every year. If he needs a team full of guys he has had for 3+ years to do anything in March that is an issue.
-
@dylans well it took me a few days to realize you werent actually joking (?) You threw out a 1 liner about pegging in deadpool, i read up on it and saw an article talking about Kevin Feige having to explain to MCU execs what pegging was https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/comments/1e04v8b/kevin_feige_had_to_explain_pegging_to_mcu_execs/?rdt=59166
I have a running schtick of “mis”interpreting R rated content as G rated content so I thought of peg solitaire and thought it was funny. Thought we were joking dude.
Lets reset?
-
While I like the look as well I’m actually concerned about foul trouble with both big’s on the floor.
-
@BShark You and I are seeing things eye to eye. This has always been my gripe with Bill. He plays favorites ie giving long leashes to guys he trusts versus guys who could elevate the team
To be our best we need Griffen and Storr playing like studs
Those two watching Juan make mistakes and stay in while they get the quick hook for 1 mistake is asinine
Bills psychology is point blank wrong. He wants these guys to play with a free mind and then decides one mistake and ur out…just absolute stupidity
In sales if ur boss is looking over your shoulder and on you over 1 mistake think you will sell with a free mind or overthink every single conversation???
Bill brings this upon himself with his backwards way of thinking. I have no idea who advises him on this stuff but it is brutally bad in terms of elevating the team versus hindering it
-
Getting the “the game has passed Bill by” discourse out of the way before Thanksgiving, that might be a new record. Some years we have to wait until that meaningless non-con game right before Christmas where the guys already have one foot on the plane
-
@kuballin10 I agree. He’s an idiot. 800 times he’s been an idiot.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Where did I say that?
He’s mentioned Storr ect not playing with a free mind yet he’s the entire reason they aren’t doing that….literally been discussed on here already
-
@nuleafjhawk Give you and me a top 10 roster and the best homecourt advantage of any sport in history and I think we could coach a few dubs as well
Titles >>>regular season dubs
Titles is where you find out who’s got it. Who can win away from home, in big gyms with a floor raised and all eyes on you……
-
Counter argument to this: if Bill lets the players get away with mistakes/sloppy play, he is telling both that player and the rest of the team that there aren’t consequences for bad plays. You also want to give the players feedback on these mistakes so that they don’t become habits. Typically the sooner you get this feedback, the more impactful it is from a learning standpoint. Maybe letting the play a little more free flow helps in the short term, but it is always going to be better if you do so with proper muscle memory/habits built up. Maybe that means some players take longer to gel, but seems like trading short term gains for long term growth to me.

@kuballin10 idk making up stuff people say is your thing. I’ve been seeing a lot of Self is stuck in the past and can’t adapt chatter this week which seems entirely misplaced given it’s November 21st and we’re 5-0.
