Winning the same amount of tournament games since '04 as your "greatest coach in American sports history," Coach K, only goes so far I suppose. Poor Bail.

Svi's a much better NBA prospect than Selden, Greene or Diallo. With Mason, Graham and Jackson presumably taking up a lot of his minutes now, it's probably in his best interest to do. Too bad because we could have used him.

The announcers kept talking about what a great prospect Svi is. I'm not claiming they are wrong, but his 3 point shooting was inconsistent. I never thought his dribbling against pressure defense or his drive to the basket looked all that great against college competition. I wish him the best, but am puzzled what NBA scouts see. If he goes this year, where do you suppose he will be drafted? |

So far, the KU rumor mill is 3/4. Really hoping that Svi decides to come back to KU, get 20+ minutes a game and be a lottery pick. He'll still be younger than Josh Jackson going into the NBA, and there's no reason he can't be a major contributor on a national title team.
Beats moving to Croatia for one year, trying to shoot your way into a new system, and then coming back for NBA camps. It's just silly... which is why he'll probably do it. |

Minutes available next year:
3 guard spots: 120 min/gm 2 forward spots: 80 min/gm Graham: 30 min. Mason: 30 min. Jackson: 25 Min. Svi: 20 min. Vick: 15 min. Bragg: 25 min. Lucas: 25 min. Coleby: 15 min. Azubuike: 10 min. Lightfoot: 5 min. thoughts? I know that would actually be lowering Mason and graham's minutes per game, but I think Svi and Vick can spell both of them. It would keep them all fresher. Brannen Greene kind of ****ed this team in terms of rotation. Just couldn't depend on him to play defense or really do jack shit except jack up shit. |

Any rumblings on where Diallo is projected? Any chance he'll be back?

I don't anticipate we'll see Mason or Graham's minutes drop at all. Self loves them both (and for good reason). |

I disagree on a couple of things - I think Selden has a great basketball IQ. You don't make the passes he makes without seeing all the moving parts naturally. I think he simply isn't quite the sponge that some players are. He knows he should drive to the rim, but he just doesn't quite have the knack for how to best do it. It started to come along this year. He's going to make an NBA roster and he'll have a long career as a pro. Sometimes it just takes guys a longer time to develop. Look at JJ Redick - the ACC's all time best shooter. He played four years under the best coach in history, and yet it still took him years and a couple different NBA teams to reach his potential. At the next level, it isn't about talent, it's about dedication. I think Selden has all the tools to be a really good player. Not comparing his skill set to Redick, just that sometimes it takes guys awhile to figure out how they can use their specific talents best, and how to develop other ones. Also, there is this idea that Svi is a bad defender, which I find ridiculous. He needs to get stronger, but his anticipation in on-ball defense is outstanding. |
