Washburn

Agbaji will be a great college player
-
Ochai is better than KJ right now. There I said it…

Grimes may be a 2 year player. I don’t see enough speed and lift for him to play NBA ball. May need to lose some weight
Ideally yes, but he thinks he is OAD.

Too bad Philly drafted Fultz instead of Tatum
ALL TIME DRAFT FUCK UP
Well, forgetting how to shoot your shot is really weird. Who does that? Drafting Anthony Bennett over Oladipo is imho the worst in recent memory.
Oladipo turned into a dude though.
-
@BShark agree but I’d bet his combine measurements will be bad for his position.
-
Give Grimes until the end of the season. He gone. He’ll go for 30 and save us at one point this season.
-
We need to instill an original rules of basketball policy for our big men during practices… as in no dribbling.
-
Not saying he won’t be good for us. I’m just thinking his NBA ability. I’d have rather had Romeo Langford.
-
@Kcmatt7 He did get jerked around a bit in the league despite being very talented. I didn’t really get that why teams moved him. Rather have him than Ibaka. Rather have him than PG13.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Joel’s swimsuit model girlfriend must have been courtside
-
What was promised to KJ, and what was told to Agbaji…

I think you’ll come around on him by January. I think Grimes ends up the better all around player
-
Do you guys think this team will have bad chemistry? Will KJ lose his minutes and be disgruntled? Or will he play undeservedly and piss others off? Will Self have a players meeting to discuss who should be playing?
-
Ochia in 2 years under Hudy will be a beast. He has that type of build that will fill out easily.
-
I think we’ll play a whole bunch of experience against Sparty.

He drank a cup of Master Kong Tea before the game.
-
@approxinfinity KJ has no minutes to lose
-
So who starts Tuesday?
-
Rock chalk! I see potential. Could be a number one team at some point.
-
I’d go Dotson, Grimes, Vick, Dedric, Doke
-
@DanR you think he’s not gonna see the floor against Sparty?
-
@approxinfinity hell no.
-
@DanR ok! we’ll see, I think he gets obligatory minutes, even if its like 2 minutes. I hope you’re right.
-
Langford was 4/12 field goals in 31 minutes during an exhibition victory over a Southern Indiana. 4 rebounds and 1 assist. 5 turnovers. This Buckets group would have crucified him…
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Agreed. I could see Moore getting it over Dotson though.
-
I’d like to see the 5 of Moore, Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, Dedric play some.
-
Dedric, Doke, Vick, Garrett/Grimes, Dotson. Subs Charlie and Lightfoot. MAYBE a couple hustle minutes for KJ. McCormick if we run into foul trouble.

He’s already a freak athletically too. I can see why Self has been gushing over him.
-
@BShark yep! That block was nice
-
@Gorilla72 I don’t think we’re too hard on them. We were hard on KJ, but he sucked. Just want to see some growth.
-
I heard a big part of not getting Sam Williamson is that the staff thinks Agbaji will be a factor next year, maybe start. I think we are far enough removed from his commitment now that it won’t read like sour grapes.
-
YOU GUYS DOKE WAS 5/6 FROM THE LINE.
-
Look at all these weird fans behind the announcers.

Where is our frigging touch on the passes. I can pass better than this any day.
ya, some of these asses was just horrible telegraphed pass-- - announcers say way to soft passes

thats not a TV thats a mirror!
-
I too am very intrigued with how Self handles KJ. We already know his dad is kind of a loud mouth and there are the two younger brothers. Will be very interesting.
-
@jayballer73 Yeah the passing game was just awful for about 2/3 of the game.
-
Question of the night…how did Washburn get Steve Nash to coach the team?
…yes, I know it’s Brett Ballard but he is a dead ringer for Steve Nash.
-
@KUSTEVE KJ will be better , he is just struggling right now- - he will get better - -looks like he is just pressing/forcing right now - -But not real worried right now. - Not sure just how many minutes he getes but think he will be fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think we goona see D Lawson – - Udoka - - - Vick - - Grimes – & Devon to start
-
DMac with 7 rebs eh.
-
Does anyone have a KenPom subscription? Interested as to what he predicts for the score on Tuesday.
-
Pretty poor first half and much better second half. Dedrick and Vick great from 3, Dedrick 4-4 and Vick 4-7. Lots of options and looked like Coach Self was testing all kinds of combinations and once the rotation is settled the team will be much better.
Biggest story of the night…after missing the first FT Doke makes the next 5 to finish 5-6 from the line…hopefully it is a trend and the “poke-a-Doke” is history.
-
There was definitely more energy and more focus the second half. Much more concerted effort to set Dok up in the post and it showed. Grimes and Dotson are going to be fantastic - again, they just need time to adjust and learn. Plus, as Ballard said in his post-game interview, Self did not run much of anything, “vanilla”, IIRC. Hoping for a win Tuesday but not expecting it due to so many new pieces.
-
Been out tonight. How’d we do?
-
@wissox First 25 minutes were total garbage. Then we snapped out of it.
-
@approxinfinity I had just seen the total garbage part of the thread above. Thought I had accidentally gotten on a Missouri thread.
-
@wissox Yeah Lagerald settled us down, was it 5 threes?, and Moore was on the floor when we settled down as well. Also, Doke 5/6 from foul line.
