Royals • Jan 07, 2017 06:28 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 he can't bat either. 3 years ago Dyson was said to be unreliable in the outfield and his bat wasn't good enough. I can't remember a 50th round draft pick doing more than Dyson did and now he's been traded for a pitcher that may end up in the starting rotation.

@BeddieKU23

If we do get Cunliffe how effective will he be after missing the first 15 games?

Well latest NBA projections • Jan 07, 2017 01:33 AM

@HawkChamp

Sandro Mamukelashvili or a transfer

@Crimsonorblue22 still have Gore. Younger, faster and cheaper.

Who won't play • Jan 06, 2017 07:47 PM

How many players ranked in 247sports.com top 15 won't play college ball. I see Diallo going to the NBA, and 3 possible non quals.

T Rob joined the Lakers during the summer and is on a non-guaranteed contract worth $1,050,961. His contract becomes fully guaranteed on January 10th and with the way he's played since the injury to Nance the Lakers are likely to keep him.

If anyone really cares about the Conference of Champions. I googled it and it turns out to be a nickname the Pac 12 gave to itself.

Nicknamed the "Conference of Champions," the Pac-12 has won more NCAA National Team Championships than any other conference in history; the three schools with the most NCAA team championships belong to the Pac-12 (UCLA, Stanford, and USC, in that order).

Voting for the NBA All-Star game began on December 25th and goes until Monday, January 16th at 11:59 p.m. ET. You can vote 10 times per day on NBA.com/vote or on Twitter.

Do like we did the Royals and vote all the NBA JAYHAWKS IN

Joel Freaking Embiid • Dec 28, 2016 09:25 PM

@jayballer54

there were several articles that came out at the sametime. The one you posted about had more stats and it never hurts to talk about a good thing. The main reason I posted the one I did was for this paragraph.

The NBA is rolling out a new voting format for the 2017 All-Star Game. Fans will make up 50 percent of the voting, with current players and media members splitting the other half. Each player can fill out one ballot and can vote for themselves.

So get out and vote Embid

If given a choice between Copeland and Cunliffe, it's Cunliffe. Copeland coming off back surgery I would look elsewhere.

Embid is the frontrunner for ROY and now being talked about as an NBA All-Star.

It's what you don't see in the mock drafts

The two paragraphs below were taken from article written shortly after the 2016 draft.

KU basketball's Bill Self laments 'false hope' of NBA Draft, advocates for system fairer to college players

A record 26 international players were selected during this year’s 60-selection, two-round draft, shattering the previous high of 21 set in 2003. Several of those picks never played collegiately in the United States, and many were so-called “draft-and-stash” players nowhere to be found on many mock draft websites.

All of those international selections bumped projected bubble picks like Selden and former KU senior Perry Ellis out of the draft entirely, leading to the “false hope” Self referenced.

http://cjonline.com/sports-hawkzone/2016-06-29/ku-basketballs-bill-self-laments-false-hope-nba-draft-advocates-system ↗

One of these draft-and-stash players is Saric who plays for the 76ers and considered a ROY candidate. He was drafted in the same class as Embid but played 2 years in Europe.

Perry E • Dec 21, 2016 03:57 PM

@jayballer54
He's still coming off the bench. He did have 2 good games in December, 1 for 22 points and the other he went for 17 points and 10 rebounds. Both games set season highs 22 points and 10 rebounds.

The link goes to his dleague page and has the highlights of those 2 games
The 2nd link goes to his teams page.

Kc posters, what's up w/kk on 810? • Dec 15, 2016 08:31 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I heard about 10 to 15 minutes of it. All I heard him say was the it's curious that Bragg was charged and released and the girl was kept overnight and not charged. He didn't call her by name. Then he started taking phone calls and a KU fan called in so mad it was hard to understand him at times. He was mad because Bragg had been accessed and her name wasn't mentioned. That was the only so called shit I heard. Listened to 2 other calls and went back to 101.

your take/input - -curious? • Dec 14, 2016 08:52 PM

So many choices for underrated or under appreciated.  I like the Horace Grant  pick,  Jack Sikma is another

For overratted Carmelo ranks right up there.

When I think of of those Bulls teams the 2 names I remember are Jordan and Pippen, like salt and pepper they belong together.  Pippen may have been overshadowed but not underrated or under appreciated. That's JMO.
I went back and looked at the roster the other name that jumped out was Steve Kerr, never did like that guy.

Scottie Still being remembered on his 51st birthday

Hall of Fame NBA forward Scottie Pippen, a seven-time All-Star and six-time champion with the Chicago Bulls, turned 51 years old on Sept. 25, 2016. In celebration of Pip's 51st birthday, we present 33 classic SI photos of No. 33.

@BeddieKU23 I agree he won't take minutes from AD, but maybe from the backup PF forget his name. Even if he gets assigned to a Dleague team he needs PT to develop.
