      Going to answer my own question here 🙂
      I think Christian Reeves will be too slow to handle Flory's quick pivots in the lane. Thinking he'll guard the 6'10" guy from Spain.
      So, if Keanu Dawes starts, then he will probably get the assignment, but I think Flory will be able to get by/around Dawes pretty easily.
      If Trey White starts (preferred), then I think he will start out guarding Flory.
      I think they'll put Tyran Stokes on 6'6" Karter Knox.
      So, my guess is it'll be either Trey White or Keanu Dawes, whoever gets the start.
      *If TKR sees the floor tonight, then he should definitely get some time guarding Flory.

      Double teaming on the catch might be how they handle it if Flory starts to go off down low.

      I'm curious what you all think... who is Coach Self going to have guarding Flory Bidunga out of the gate?

      Possibilities in no particular order:
      Tre White
      Tyran Stokes
      Atticus Richmond
      Keanu Dawes
      Trey Kauffman-Renn
      Dennis Parker Jr.
      Davion Adkins
      Christian Reeves
      Paul Mbiya

      @rockchalkjayhawk I agree with this post almost completely... lotta great stuff here and I totally agree with your lineup ideas.

      While watching TK in the FIBA U18 in June, to me, he didn't look like he was anywhere near ready top lead the Jayhawks at point guard. I was pulling for him to show the ability to play extremely solid ball and yet he just seemed to lack the size and decision making skills at this point in his career. Not to say he can't develop this year into a force by March. And as you suggest in your post, I hope Self gives him plenty of PT to see if he will progress at a fast rate if he is turned loose at times.

      Hoping that one of the bigs steps up and is so good that it makes Coach Self want to play big.
