It's fine to say Selden is a better defender but Conner could definitely shoot if he was ever given a chance. But Self doesn't give shooters a chance, he gives them a leash. A short one at that - then he wonders why his team always plays these disgusting 60-55 NCAA games in March. It's a wonder!
I don't see how anyone could watch Tharpe, particularly the last few weeks, and honestly believe he brings anything to the table. He has zero business starting at a school like Kansas. Zero.

He shot 31% for the year. 15 of 48. Mason shot better from 3 than he did in just as many shots. When you are an outside shooter that is slow defensively, you have one thing you HAVE to do if you want to play..... make 3 pointers. He didn't, which is why is was bottom of the rotation all year long. I'm sure he actually is a great outsider shooter. All indications are that he is. But, the game was too big for him this year. He'll get there.
