Here is Bill Self disagreeing about Evan's offensive ability.

I'm going to save this. Whenever I am feeling sad, down, or just need a smile, I will watch it.

Here is Bill Self disagreeing about Evan's offensive ability.

Was this right after Evan's fourth three ball or was it, during the spate of time-outs early in the second half?

Just wondering.

How would you describe the facial expression of Coach Marshall in the video?

Amusement?
Mild amusement?
Secret gloating?

All of the above, with a helping of Cheshire Cat added for good measure.

Five minutes to go or so. KU got a fast break layup off a steal. We had trouble getting the ball inbounded so Gregg called a timeout before the five-count. Bill didn't think the timeout came in time.

last years team had 9 losses. i don't think this years team will have 9 losses.

Last year's team had outside potential (not one of the 10 most likely, but in the next tier for sure) for a national championship. I don't think this year's team will have that same potential.

Now that we're getting the "too early" and admittedly sketchy reports about the new guys, I'd like to propose another potential lineup.

Morris
Willis
McDuffie
Frankamp
Shamet

That lineup has a lot of potential for easy shots if Frankamp, McDuffie, or Shamet can get a step on their defender and then use the wall of Shaq screening for an easy shot. Play off those guys to prevent them from driving and they can rain 3's.

If a driver is cut off, there's probably a 3-point shooter unguarded at the arc or Willis is unguarded on the other side of the lane. Rebounding and defense for that group is unproven,, so that might limit that group's minutes.

So many potential lineups, all of which could be opposition killers. This is going to be fun.

I always read posts like this and assume when listing players you list from the 1 to 5. I was really confused why you had Morris playing the PG position. I mean, I've seen the big man on fast breaks and well ... at least he finishes strong ..

I will tell you with great certainty that I was not proposing playing Frankamp at PF. Putting him there might confuse opponents because they wouldn't have a scout on him at that position.

It's quite possible that those five could be the five best players next season.

Just listened to GM's recent press conference. As I thought would be the case, GM sounds like CF
is going to run point and LS is gravitating towards the two guard. I expect PA will play significant
minutes divided between SG and SF. Would like to know more about Willis and am excited to find
out from the Canada trip how he is going to fit in. Have heard he is pretty darn good. If he is then
I'm wondering about EH's role cause we know MM is going to play a lot...........if healthy.

I thought it sounded more like Smith would be running point and CF backing him up. "Takes care of the ball and shoots well" sounds (to me) like the description of a role player.

I love when we all try to interpret what 3G means when he says good things about players. So much better than trying to figure what he meant if it wasn't good things.

I wonder if he just means that he plans for Frankamp to clean the basketballs and shoot whiskey really well?
