Cheick diallo was drafted 33rd without really playing and a similar build to Flory.

Again he has no shot to rely on and he sure in the hell isn't bullying any current five, that could be scary. Flory is a really good five here and more likely then not make money overseas, about the best he can do here in the /states is the G league or late second round

I think the situation with DP should be a wake up call that the prima donnas can be a blessing and a curse. I have read where there is a unique kind of muscle cramping that can occur in athletes that overexert that is not explained by dehydration, but by the neurological system misfiring. There is a strong possibility that footwear and the playing surface are affecting the legs’ fatigue more especially with rapid intense activity. There is research into how the neuromuscular fatigue could be lessened by real time monitoring and hopefully prevent the cramping by exposing the player in practice to similar surfaces that are played on during games. With real time monitoring the muscle fatigue could be objectively seen and in knowing the threshold for cramps to occur to have a player drink more fluids and rest before they arise. I would think that Adidas would be all over this and maybe they are, but if that is true, I would expect them to be shouting from the rooftops about how they are addressing this problem.

They will draft off of potential but won’t give a lot of guys time to develop that potential. Would be hard for Flory to walk away if projected to be a first rounder because he is guaranteed 3 years under contract.

We didn’t get the number 1 guy like Hunt or Storr. A lot of people questioned if Council could even play at this level. A lot of people weren’t high on Tre either. I remember reading on espn that we failed in the portal and would have a bad year again.

Good for him. I still think he's way undersized (no freaking way he's 6-10), and needs more offensive game to have a consistent NBA career.
we can dream, right?

I feel like he could do it in another yr.

I agree with that. It sounds like if KU lands Stokes it could be difficult to retain others. It's a really delicate situation coming up

Even if it means we dont get 5 star freshman. Every transfer guard in the nation will want to play with those 2

He's awesome but another year and he can work to expand that offensive game even more. I think that's what unlocks a higher draft grade. Interested to see if he can given He's still really young overall playing this game.

I really want to see yr 3 of him here, selfishly

@BeddieKU23 thats absolutely absurd to me but ok! Does that seem wildly incorrect to you?

I have been told that the expectation (as of when I had this convo, which was a couple weeks ago at this point) is he would return to college and that it will be a priority to retain him at Kansas.

Also, a small fwiw but Elmarko and Jamari are the only players right now who I would pen in for the roster next year. A few, like Flory, I'd have in pencil.

Surround him with shooters and hes Draymond Green Deluxe Edition, imo

From the mocks out there he's probably a 2nd rounder currently. He can certainly make more money in College right now.

What does he have left to prove? Would he not be a lottery pick in this draft right now? Would he have been if he had hit that three last night? Haha

Actually Stokes not coming would not be that big of deal to me- -- way to much baggage-- attitude could easily be a cancer in the locker room

Sorry but millions to win 5 games isn’t working for me. I think Flory has a good shot of going first round so I wouldn’t bet on him being here next season.

So very much want a year 2 of Tiller

Might be a longshot that its here given the financials of certain things

Will be very difficult if not impossible to have Stokes/Tiller/Flory. My guess is 2/3.
