@Jhawk69 KJ is shooting 50%, Flory is shooting 80%.

Thats difference is basically like if every shot KJ made was a 3.

I would argue Flory helps more with floor spacing. By being so long and active in the lane it forces the defense to focus on him more.

I would also argue that Flory can guard just about anyone KJ can and more.

Flory rebounds and rim protects better. I would say KJ does rim protect, but not nearly as well as Flory.

KJ is a better handler but that trait is limited because defenses can sag off him.

KJ doesnt foul as much but Flory seems to be improving in that department.

Bidunga basically does everything KJ does and more. That makes KJ a logical backup.

Conspiracy theories that Jaybate and HEM are two personalities of a fragmented soul…. Go!

I think i am ready to nerd out on advanced metrics. Can you DM me and tell me who I have to pay where to get some juicy data i can fiddle with @BShark ?

Dajuan and Shak should be a two headed monster at PG, with one of them coming in for Mayo if we need defense or if Mayo is cold.

Favoritism for Dajuan when Shak gives us energy is the problem.

But Juan is generally the better passer and runs Self’s action better.

Shak demonstrated he can get hot with his shot which was awesome. And his defense off ball is fantastic and on ball is formidable.

As long as minutes split going forward is about even and as needed, it will be fine.

@KirkIsMyHinrich it was foretold that a hero would emerge from the darkness.

Heres the story,

Of a man named Billy,

Who was bringing in 3 very high priced wings,

2 of them would play no D, just like Hunter,

The mean team age was old.

Heres the story,

Of a man named Flory,

Who could rim protect and run just like an elk,

He would do a lot of things in spot minutes,

But he was riding pine…

…. Insert verse 3 about circumstances leading up to TCU game …

Bidunga’s Bunch!

Bidunga’s Bunch!

Thats the way we became Bidunga’s Bunch!

@kuballin10 so, while i have no idea if thats the best lineup because i dont know if we have seen it at all, even tonight.

But, its exactly the lineup i would like to see.

Moore / Mayo / Storr / Bidunga / Dickinson.

Have we tried this lineup much?

@tundrahok indeed, keep the evidence coming :)

Flory was the player of the game. Great to see the team identity driven by him when Hunt and Dajuan were sucking.

@kuballin10 i mean you are saying these things but shak and bidunga are getting big minutes here

Backstorr cut

@Texas-Hawk-10 what i was thinking as well. Not smart, zero rebounder

God Shakgod!

Is that really what we want? Hunt screening at 3pt line for AJ to shoot a 3? Somehow i think not

@kjayhawks well. Self needs to trust Moore a little more. Shak showing up so Dajuan can be used less.

Bidunga should get the most minutes. He can play with Hunter or Storr. Both scorers. We cant pair Hunter and KJ because of rebounds and rim protection. We cant pair AJ with Hunt because Hunt clogs the lane and AJ is a slasher.

Look how everyone else is doing stuff when we aren’t force feeding Hunter though. You were right @DanR

@kuballin10 when KJ comes back i would be shocked if Bidunga isnt getting big minutes still

@kuballin10 there is no way Bill doesnt see it

AJ looking good… with Flory out there with him. Sorry, if my harping about how Flory makes everyone elses defensive shortcomings more palettable is tired.

AJ doing good things with active hands at midcourt

Foul? Gtfo.

Get rekt Udeh

@DanR need Hunts offense. Just dont pair him with AJ.

@StLJhawk yeah i think bidunga is shooting 80%
For the season isnt he?

Hunt sealed off again for easy drive

Flory time

AJ looked good there except the pass to rylens feet

@StLJhawk that was rylen

Lol

How does Hunter have 1.5 bpg? I expect that to fall off a cliff in conference play

How easily is Hunter sealed off? No rim protection at all. Its like hes looking for someone to box him out so he doesnt have to try.

Alright. Give Dajuan a breather

Nice Shak

Love seeing Self chatting up Flory.

@Zabudda flory out, aj in. Not the same team to end the half.

Not missing starter KJ one bit.

Nothings gonna warm bill’s heart like dominating udeh ;)

Hunter clogged lane

@DanR it will nice when KJ gets back, he will be a great energy guy off the bench.

@wissox ha. I was proud of self for a sec for letting him play with 2. Reinsert pole.

@wissox he should foul out every game. No excuse not to let him.

Yeah Flory!!!!

Flory took offense to “udeh is lightyears ahead of flory”

Yesssssssss

Flory

This may be the most important game / stretch of the year for us. Time for Bidunga and Rylan to prove to Self they need more minutes.

Flory the key, the glue, the heart.
