Notice Garrett’s position in that video. Point guard, so we have an idea of how Self likely views Garrett’s development.

There’s a video on the KU basketball Facebook page introducing the new guys and it includes their position and it had Marcus Garrett listed as a point guard. That should be a big sign of what SeIf’s intentions with Garrett are.

@jaybate-1.0 Malik Monk and Donovan Mitchell are both listed at 6’-3" and were each lottery picks last night. The NBA is trending smaller than when Chalmers came out so bro g a 6’-3" combo guard isn’t that big a deal in today’s NBA.

@BeddieKU23 If Azubuike picks up where he left off when he got hurt last year, he’s going to be a highly coveted prospect based on his size alone because that’s one of the few things in basketball that can’t be taught.

It’s possible he doesn’t pick up though which is why I used the P-word with Azubuike.

It won’t impact Texas because the NCAA can’t afford to give up 3 of their 10 Final Four sites.

KU has 3 potential 2018 lottery picks right now and 5 guys total who could be drafted.

Newman, Preston, and Azubuike are all possible lottery picks with Azubuike being a potential top 5 pick with his size.

Graham probably won’t be a lottery pick because of his age, but he’s comparable in size to Dennis Smith and Malik Monk who were both lottery so size won’t hurt Graham’s draft position. Svi probably ends up like Kaun as a second round draft and stash guy who plays the majority of his career in Europe and may or may not ever play in the NBA.

Vick has the possibility, but I just don’t see him being featured enough in the offense to be a 2018 draft pick. He’s being groomed to be the man in 2018-19 as a senior like Graham is this year.

@globaljaybird Frank’s jersey probably won’t be next since there’s other eligible players not up there yet (Sherron, Aldrich, and T-Rob), but it’ll be up there at some point.

@Barney All the transfers can play in Italy because those aren’t NCAA sanctioned games so Cunliffe and the Lawson’s will play as well so long as they are healthy at that point.

@jaybate-1.0 Chalrie Moore can’t play for KU this year because of the transfer rules.

@kjayhawks Just stop. If you seriously think that one poke is what ruined Mangino, I’ve got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you. That was the culmination of many incidents over a long period of time.

Mangino was well known around Lawrence to be extremely verbally abusive to his players and others around Lawrence including parking officials, HS refs, and others.

I know what the atmosphere of that was because that was my senior year at KU and I was and still am in regular contact with players on that team. If Arist Wright was such a pansy, why did the locker room side with Wright and not Mangino? Very telling about everyone’s opinion of Mangino when the players are not publicly defending Mangino to the media.
