Good point, his FT % is of concern.

@BeddieKU23 How many players increase their shooting % when transitioning to a deeper 3 point line?

His outside shooting in Canada does not bode well for Grimes shooting a higher % than he did in HS next season.

1. No idea. HS stats are not as widely available to compare. Grimes stats were available, Dotson’s were not for example.

2. If you think 6 games tells the story on what his shooting will be for KU, that’s your opinion to have. Outside shooting for this team has already been singled out by our coach as the biggest question mark.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Or could translate to 41-43%, goes both ways

@BShark

Definitely those guys were wings in KU’s system which you noted. A few extra weeks of coaching from Self can’t hurt him at all once he gets into Lawrence

@KUSTEVE

Just to follow up a bit. He might not be the “sharpshooter” we have become accustomed to with Svi, Graham, Mason etc. Maybe he’s more along Vick/Selden where he has games he’s red hot but his averages are inconsistent sometimes.

I do know one thing watching his games he’s going to impact the game in so many ways.

He is the secondary ballhandler any coach dreams of having, he’s a heck of an athlete, passing-vision, rebounding, and size for the 2 guard position will cause fits to most teams trying to guard him. He’s not a finished product but heck I don’t know if we’ve signed a guard as ready as he is to compete and impact the game.

@KUSTEVE

Over 200 attempts this year in HS he shot 39%.

Will 6 games tell the story on his shooting? Unlikely I think.

I’ve seen some question his mechanics or effectiveness from shot to shot. Something the staff can address this summer. His shot looks good off the dribble from what I saw.

If he’s here just one year and that looks very likely we’ll see. Svi didn’t set the world on fire in year one for recent example but the comp isn’t apples to apples. I believe Grimes is a good shooter and will have every opportunity to showcase such.

I think Silvio will play this year but I’m just being optimistic here. The risk is always going to be there as long as this case is open.

I don’t think he starts either but he’ll be a key rotation piece in case of injury/foul trouble.

Dotson will start and I think he’ll be the better defender which usually wins out with Self. If Moore is good enough to start that’s good for KU. We could have 2-3 guys that are that 6th man type. It’s a good problem to have

@BShark

Glad its not KU’s problem

won’t be long before WKU is being investigated… Robinson, Bassey. Sure, not fishy at all
