Anyone see how good Ochai looked being fed by Tyshawn in the scrimmage? I hope DD was taking note..

I used to love the Shlockers until greasy haired Cooter Brown and his lush wife took over. And then their wanna-be fanbase started running us down. Wanna-bes...
@Marco LMAO...you're alright, Coach...
@approxinfinity If that's the case, he's outnumbered.
BTW, Trevor Williams blows chunks ...
@drgnslayr When he puts it all together, and he will put it all together ... either this year or next... we're going to feel ashamed how we dogged him.

I don't mean to change the subject or anything, but have I mentioned what a freaking bum that Trevor " Can't Pitch Worth a Crap" Williams really is?
@Kcmatt7 I assumed Charlie would be better, and that Devon would be worse. Devon was much better than I could've dreamed of- never seen a freshman point guard come in from Day 1 and play like that.
@FarmerJayhawk Shooting is a skill. That's why I'm not worried about Marcus. He will eventually get it down pat.
@jayballer73 Hey...I like Marco. We're all wrong from time to time. I thought Charlie was going to be good...remember? LOL...
@Texas-Hawk-10 You didn't say that. I didn't say that you had. I was agreeing with you. I forget how sensitive you are. I should've said practically everyone except you and I believe that JW will have problems guarding the 3.
@Marco Marcus's minutes will only drop if they fire Coach Self, and hire Coach Marco.
@BShark Great minds think alike...I'm not saying JW couldn't develop into a good defender on the perimeter, but he's a long way off at this point.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Everyone is automatically assuming Jalen can guard the 3, and i'm not so sure he can.
@HighEliteMajor The last two years, it's abundantly clear we've had a defensive problem. We lost to Tech by 30. We got blown out by Nova. We got humiliated by Auburn. If the 3/2 helps us defensively, then I'm all for it...100%.
@Marco Redshirt Garrett? Are you afraid we're not going to give up enough points?
@BShark The clip shows Braun looking really good as well. Tyshawn dribbled between JW's legs...lol...
@BShark OK....who is yikes...
@BShark They sent a Youtube video of the scrimmage, but it isn't working. Have you located it yet?
I guess they don't want to play us nearly as bad as before, eh?
Don't the Shlockers have to play Memphis twice?
@BShark I'll betcha Marsha and his wife are drinking like fish over the news...
What blows my mind is the Pelicans having the 1st and the 4th picks this year, along with Ingram and Lonzo. That roster is loaded. As I recall, Okafor did well in place of the Unibrow.
@Texas-Hawk-10 So, are you thinking a Doke/Mac at the 5 and a Silvio/JW at the 4 rotation of bigs? That would certainly help free minutes up on the perimeter if JW was at the 4.
@drgnslayr It wasn't offense that sent us home in the Final Four against Villanova- it was a total defensive collapse. Last year, we were down by 25 to Auburn at halftime. 25 points. The most exciting part of this team is they will defend better than what we've seen in years.
@Marco You're killing me, Smalls.
@Marco I'll defer to the coaches. They obviously think he can play.
@BShark He's just beginning to come into his own. By next year, he'll be a dominant force.

@BShark I'm trying to think of a front court that would compare...maybe the Morii with TROB off the bench...maybe Withey and TROB...maybe Shady and crew, but I think for raw muscular bulk, you'd have to put a Dok, Silvio, and Dave right up there with any of them. The Morii and TROB could score, same with Shady and company... but there isn't any of them that could dunk like Doke. And I have an idea that Silvio is going to make his mark as a ferocious rebounder, and Dave is just going to get better and better.
Then add in the athleticism in the backcourt with Ochai and Dotson, and you basically have 3 other guys that can be used with Marcus, JW, and Moss. The only one of those I would say isn't as athletic would be Moss, but he has an important skillset we need, and the defensive chops not to hurt us when he's in the lineup. Experience. Great defense. Offensive firepower. Deep as the ocean. Athletic.This team might have the best chance since 2008...a true legitimate chance to be national champions this year.
The team is going to be off the chain athletically. The difference from last year will be profound.
@BShark I was shocked how good he looked in that scrimmage. He looked so much quicker and stronger than last year.
My .50 cent bet has now turned into a major windfall of $9.25 in winnings. Thank you, Gary!
YAHTSEE!!!!!! "
@BShark amen.
@jayballer73 Say what? I pick the winner of KU games at 82%, which happens to be Coach Self's winning percent. In other words, I pick KU to win every game. I just threw the final score out there because I want us to kick Dook's ass. My final score predictions pretty much suck overall so I don't track those ( although I have come within 1 or 2 points of the final score on a few occasions). I only track the stat that makes me look good. BTW, the NCAA penalties, if we get busted, will not kick in until at least 2020/2021 :

@drgnslayr He's having the time of his life- this would work out great for him because he'll be needed more next year than this year, and will work out for us as well.
i still think they fleeced themselves...
@BShark Kyrie
Reports of Vasoline included in the deal have not been confirmed.
The Lakers push all in for the Unibrow, while the Pelicans get rid of a malcontent, and get a buttload for him:

84-66. You'll have to trust me on this - I do have an 82% winning percentage picking KU games.
If there's an injury, Braun could get time. Otherwise, there's just no room at the inn this upcoming year. Unless Moss does a Charlie Moore impression, or Garrett gets hurt again. I have to admit I am fascinated with a back court in the future with 2 6'8" guys that can both shoot the 3 ( JW/Braun).
He's in 1st place now. -9. My DFS scores look like I know what I'm doing ( little do they know )...
@jayballer73 We'd create mismatches all over the court. I was very impressed with Braun in that scrimmage. That kid can flat shoot, and he is not in awe of anyone. He's a tough kid.
@BeddieKU23 Braun at the 2. I know...sounds weird. But I think it would work. Mackey Braun JW Enaruna and Big Dave. That team would shoot over 40% from 3.
@jayballer73 I'm trying to get you to relax. Let me be the first to say....this Buds for you...lol.
