Have we ever had a player that compares to Dedric? I think he’s going to be a scoring machine, but he has to be the most un-athletic big man in KU history.
Hmm, Moody wasn’t very athletic. Not a similar player to Dedric at all though. I think Georges Niang is a good comp.

Not winning Tuesday with this effort. Very concerned
Not winning Tuesday period. Michigan State is a cohesive team with 3 excellent college players and some role players. MSU by 15+ imo.
I agree going to be interesting for awhile BUT come on Man don’t start that crap already - -Michigan St by 15 plus? – come on , that’s just a little extreme Mr Sunshine lmao. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@DanR Old man ball. His game is a testament to those of us that watched the NBA in the 80s and 90s.
-
@jayballer73 I think we’ll show better against Sparty. So far, this looks more like 2013 than 2017.
-
The one thing I worry about with this team is the best defensive team might be the worst offensive one. Self may have to just deal with some bad defense to stay in games with a hot opponent. This will really test the “Self has embraced modern ball” theorists.
-
I dont think Agbaji is redshirting.
-
I was ABOUT to say good d by moore.
-
@approxinfinity I still don’t think he sees minutes.
-
Where is our frigging touch on the passes. I can pass better than this any day.
-
The D is roughhhh
-
Doke has regressed. Missed a wide open Dedric on one end then zero D
-
that was better–attack the basket!
-
The one thing that I expected was a high pressure D from us. The intensity is just not there.
-
High top shoes don’t really prevent ankle sprains, Armstrong.
-
And I will say that I am pleasantly surprised by Moore and will probably be eating crow this season.
-
Vick knocking down some shots tonight. Good stuff.
-
I’m feeling Moore and Vick right now.
-
@DanR only Garret and Vick has experience understanding defense at this level and what self expects
-
Also , everyone should keep in mind that Self isnt running any plays.
-
Brett Ballard, you tear em a new one bud

Still waiting for him to be able to attack the basket off of the dribble. If he could do that he would be 15 ppg easy I think.
-
I hope we play better than this against Michigan St.
-
@Kcmatt7 decent point guards always look better surrounded by talent
-
Izzo won’t know what to do against this weave
-
THERE is is Udoka, dribble with authority out of the double team, find the open man. That calm your nerves a bit about regression?
-
I’d turn on the UCF game after this if I were you guys. In a dog fight at home against Temple

No. Vick was wide-open before he put the ball on the floor. He should have just passed it without dribbling. He needs to stop dribbling.
-
@approxinfinity Yep, except for the dribbling part!
-
@BShark you guys are kidding, right?!? Remember 2013 when we didnt kill Fort Hayes St and Louisiana Monroe in the preseason? No one could handle that we looked mediocre while Duke murdered teams. Then we beat Duke in Chicago in the same game we have this year with MSU. Lots of plays simply not being run. Have we literally run any real plays yet? I think we thump MSU.

Doke has a lot to work on. He greatly benefited from being the only big out there last year.
-
@joeloveshawks I brought that up earlier.

13 ended pretty badly though.
-
@joeloveshawks I agree. They will be fine Tuesday.
-
Dedric is so good.
-
Lawson’s game is absolutely effortless . So fun to watch.
-
There we go. Catch and look to score first and foremost. Be ready to let one fly boys!!
-
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
-
Lawson…smooooooth
-
Now we look better…
-
When is the last time KU has looked great in an exhibition game?
There’s so many new faces this year and only the second time they’ve played against someone other than themselves. This happens everytime there’s a lot of turnover on the roster.
There will also be times that KU looks bad early in the season because that’s what Self teams do. This team was voted preseason #1 for a reason and they will look the part soon enough.
-
Mini-Dirk.
-
Some pro teams passed up on Dedric and could have had an 8 year veteran type player. Our gain!
-
Doke with the shooter’s roll!
-
Doke FTs
-
lol at Doke making the air-shooting motion where hes got his shooting hand completely sideways.
-
Dedric is a cheat-code.
-
Heartbeat of this game is now regular.
-
Lawson really does play like the old man at the Y who’s team never leaves the court.
-
It will be very damn interesting to see what Self does with Dedric this year.
-
@BigBad doesn’t talk smack. Just goes out and beats your ass every time!
