@BShark Maybe Self can pair the bigs together. If you had to split the bigs into 2 primary pairs, what would be the best 2 pairs? The perimeter I think can be more fluid.

I'd play the Lawsons together a lot. Then put Mitch with Doke. But in general I'd try to get the Lawsons as many minutes as possible.

I'm good with that. Mitch hitting 3's is critical for that to work, I think.

Agree. I'd mostly want to have a Lawson out there. Like...out of the 80 post minutes something like KJ 25+, Dedric 25+, Doke 20, Mitch 10 or less.

Seems like KJ might play all over the court though, as needed.

KU was 6/16 from 3, 38%

Basically only Charlie was hitting them haha. If that keeps up, he's gotta get more tick than I was hoping for.

@BShark Yea they weren't great, but the confidence with which he took them gave me confidence that he can probably hit them.

I hope so. He was 31% at Memphis though.

KJ is 0-fer on threes right? None of them looked great either from what I remember.

Moore has been excellent in this game. I have zero criticisms.

Dedric Lawson makes basketball look really easy. He's as good as advertised.

I am pleasantly surprised with Moore, but I want to see him against MSU.

Dedric definitely showed up. He is incredible.

Self nailed it, all the player shuffling kinda killed the rhythm.

Kcmatt7 said:

Big Dave ain't seeing the floor this year.

Definitely not that ready yet. Going to see a lot of KJ at the 4 imo.

Kcmatt7 said:

Charlie is automatic from 3.

Helps being wide open. BUT, that may happen a lot this year as opponents pack the paint.

Grimes has great vision, too bad Dave couldn't finish.

Chuck has some range.

Dedric has like 14 and 12 in 9 minutes. Lol.

approxinfinity said:

It almost feels like Lawson needs another big like him to play with, someone mobile that can pop out when Lawson goes inside. Do you guys think Doke and Lawson can play together?

Lawson + Lawson is probably our best post pairing.

Also worth noting, Vick and Dok are used to 4 out 1 in, this is quite a different style so they have to adjust. Growing pains.

With all the line-up tinkering it can be hard to get a flow, but you can see where this team might struggle offensively from time to time. Lots of line-ups in this game you will never see in a real game though so yeah.

Not sure what to make of Dok struggling big time against ESU.

Grimes looks good !!

Glad to see you are okay brother!

approxinfinity said:

@BShark wow you're right. RussRob was a .407 career college shooter. I totally had crimson and blue goggles on I guess! Loved me some RussRob.

He defended like a warrior, one of my favorites too.

@Kcmatt7 We will see where Garrett ends up.

GRIMES IS ALRIGHT

Charlie Moore just got put on skates by a D2 guy.

Woodrow said:

I think Moore is going to get more run than people think. Especially if he can knock down the three ball.

I hope not. KU is in trouble if he is getting more than 12 or so mpg.

approxinfinity said:

@BShark was russ rob's form broken? I thought it was good.

Didn't go in a lot.

Kcmatt7 said:

@BShark If he can't hit that shot, he will struggle to see the floor EOY I think.

Counterpoint: Russ Rob, Tyshawn, FR Selden etc...

Kcmatt7 said:

Garretts form is butt

Pretty okay with him never taking catch and shoot threes.

MARCUS NOOOO

You will never see this line-up in a real game. LOL

Bill is already fooling around big time.

Dotson is a blur with the ball. Maybe the fastest Self has had at KU.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@BShark about that bet🤔

What player was I arguing about? I lose track lol.

Dedric Lawson is a cheat code.

Also that pass by Grimes was very nice, and good to see Devon drive it.

Woodrow said:

Dedric is going to be fun as hell to watch!

If he could jump he'd be in the NBA right now LOL.

Kcmatt7 said:

We can absolutely run a lineup where nobody is shorter than 6'5. Grimes looks very comfortable on the ball.

He's a PG for sure.

approxinfinity said:

Lawson needs to stop trying to do everything.

I don't think that's the issue rn

Yeah this is rough lol

Dok...

Not sure if Dedric could jump over a dollar bill. :thinking:

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOO

Dotson Grimes Vick Dedric Dok

@KUSTEVE Same. He is smart and athletic. Might as will save him for the future if he is willing though.

KUSTEVE said:

@BShark Does Silvio's status have an impact on this? My KJ to the 4 theory if Silvio is gone might open some minutes for Ochai at the 3, right?

Even if KJ slides down to the 4 primarily, the bulk of the guard minutes are going to go to Dotson, Grimes, Garrett and Vick. Then there is still Charlie Moore to consider. Just super crowded in the back court.

Visiting with his coach.

Well read where w have a 2021 pg from Evansville Indiana going to be un-ofically visiting for the game tonight. - - -Khristian Lander is 5'11 - -& 150 - -pretty dang small but he is going to visit tonight

Is ranked # 30 in the Nation right now and currently has offers from:

Illinois -- -Indiana - - - Iowa - -& Purdue - - just a little FYI - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

6'1''. Big talent. Hard to see Indiana letting him get away but hey he has to be paying his own way for this KU visit and an exhibition no less so surely he has some interest in KU.

Will the game be streamed?

@BShark boy we are gonna hear it!😡

Going to be a fun year.

I'm :thinking: about making up some custom shirts with "We good?" and "Technical Issues". Just laugh at the haters as I walk by.

Nice hateful replies from a slaver and some MAGA idiot too. :joy:

@Crimsonorblue22 :pray_tone1: Hope your surgery goes well.

Boynton and Self @jayballer73

makes sense jut didn't realize self voted for K- State

He can't vote for KU so had to be another school.

Call me old fashioned but committing to one QB is the most important thing you can do in BShark's coaching handbook.

Fwiw Riley Gates (KSU writer) put in a cb pick for KU,
