To compare him to Braun is no great shakes . True Braun got drafted but he didnt fare well during the Summer League so much so he may be on the G-league team at times during the season. Brauns shooting with the Jayhawks wasnt all that great ,but none the less Braun got drafted......Anywho welcome aboard C.J.
Good news/ bad news ...........Good news is Im glad Jalen had a good showing at the combine. Bad news is if he continues to impress he probably wont be back .....I dont believe Jalen ever got the credit he deserved , yes his shooting left much to be desired but he still defended and rebounded ........nothing against Braun but i felt he and Jalen were pretty even on the court, I also would like to see Dave excel in the combine as well ...........to lose possibly 4 players to the NBA would great ( Ochai ,Braun,Wilson ,Mccormack ) but not likely
I dont see where Braun is NBA ready .......other than his size he didnt shoot the 3 well his shot release is slow and he cant shoot off the dribble. You not only have to look at Brauns offensive deficiencies but I googled current NBA shooting guards 6' 5" or so there were 100 listed ......Braun also has to learn to defend these guys . If he gets drafted great but he has to be a better outside shooter and defender
Although having Dmac would be a luxury it would also be a setback moving forward because you need to develop Zach and Udeh next year and Dmac would eat up minutes that would otherwise go to Zach and Udeh . Dmac went out on top with a Natty and and degree so its time for his next challenge . Thank you Dave and all the best to you moving forward ....you are forever a Jayhawk
Dirk you may have something about Yesufu . Guard wise you got Cuffe Harris and Pettiford In the mind of Yesufu he wants to play but it doesnt look likely .............but he does have a championship so if he did transfer out he will always have that championship. As far as Davis and what he did at SMU that doesnt mean much if you dont play Bill Self basketball ............e.g. Remy Martin ........Even though Coach Jankovich recently retired he may have some influence in Davis' decision given Coach Jankovich has Kansas ties with Coach Self . But he would be a nice edition
We should be glad that Self who is normally stubborn if a player doesnt play Bill Self style of basketball ............finally let Remy be Remy . Self lacked patience during the season with Remy if he missed a couple shots or missed a defensive assignment ......Self would yank him out of the game . Self trusted Remy more starting with the Big 12 tourney thats when the team seemed to have been energized and Remy started scoring ,Self realized although he loved Harris on the floor, he knew Remy could get you buckets ........and glad Self realized it and not let Remy spend his days on the bench
And just like that the seasons over ! National Champions ....again . Vegas never sleeps and the odds ere released this morning Kansas is a favorite to repeat ,so they go into next year with that mountain of pressure ......but Im sure Self will have them ready for the challenge.

And for Wilson how his season began and how it ended was amazing
David ........Self didnt have any choice ..........Tony you missed a great game ....we were down late but Mario Chalmers hit a 3 to send it into overtime . It looked like it as over but we fought back and pulled it out .
