There has been a swelling belief that Diallo and Bragg aren't ready, and should therefore ride the bench until next year when they are ready.

Guys and Gals I'm not trying to pick a fight. Seriously.

The reality is the NBA throws big money at potential. It doesn't matter if Bragg or Diallo play or not. It doesn't matter if the truth is they aren't ready. If anyone of them so much as smells a lottery pick they're gone. It has nothing to do with KU, and it has nothing to do with being ready.

It's about the money boys and girls. You really think an NBA GM is going to put stock in Coach playing Lucas and Traylor over Diallo and Bragg? Two players that can't even hold Diallo and Bragg's Jock strap when it come to potential?

@DoubleDD NBA is crazy. Frankly, I don't enjoy the NBA game much at all.

@Bwag

I don't like either. Yet it is what is.

I only care about the team we have. Would love to see them both back next year, but if they want to go pro, good luck to them.

@DanR

Well said. Sadly though some KU fans think if a player doesn't play they'll be back for another year. The College game and the NBA has changed. It's just not that way anymore.

How about some fun?

@RockChalkinTexas look at you and me, trying to make people have fun on this site.

@wrwlumpy That's the kind of gal I am. ;-)

I think the biggest question is whether they will be back next year. Some seem to think that they won't because they're not ready, others think that they will because the NBA is stupid, and others think since they will, Self should give them more time so he can get the most out of them while they're here. Yet others (like myself) wonder if their lack of playing time against the cupcakes hurt their draft stock and hurt our chances come late March.

Although I recognize that Self is incredible, he's not perfect. On the other hand, he's privy to all kinds of info I'm not privy to, so I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt on it.
