Claws is going to be a very nice player.  He's a good athlete with high BBIQ and much better offensive skills than most 6'9" freshmen.  Is he as good as a couple of delusional KSU homers think?  No he isn't, but he'll have KU fans wondering why KU didn't recruit him within a couple of years.

Remember Willie Cauley?  Well, Wade is a completely different type of player, but the situation visa v KU fans is going to be similar. 

Just saying, this topic might not be the best one to make a deal about.

You're precious Mid. There's scads of players that are going to be "very nice players" when they're older. The hype for this kid by the taters and his helicopter dad is off the rails. For every Willie Cauley you want to roll out, there's a Will "how did Self let this kid get away" Spradling.
:love:

except he's already really good

Yeah, the guy looks crazy smooth and able for a frosh who has only 4 games in to his college career.

I'm nervous for Claws to play in Allen Fieldhouse. Psychopaths like Dr. J are out to get this guy, since he mushed away KU in their fat faces. They might do some crazy unheard of things to him there.  :frown:

But the average Joe blow fan thinks why didn't he show off what he can do by himself? It's not going to happen. He's playing to win and not to pad his stats.

I don't think it is his dad, but one hell of a sock.

Like what ? Chicken wing him ? I'm sure the blueblood fans would say its unintentional. Kind of like a Starship BJ.

The nicknames are cool, but this thread needs to be changed to "What if Claws is a badass?"

Welcome back Claws.  Bullnuts has your back, and about 4 others can carry the scoring load.

My question for all the experts on this board is how do you score when you never touch the ball? There's not enough balls on the floor for this team and that is on the coaches.

Dean's ONLY job where it is designed for him to touch the ball is to reverse the ball to the other side of the floor. He never gets a screen for him. He sets screens and picks and rolls or picks and pops. You can watch the game film and if you count touches where it's not designed to only reverse the ball and you can count the touches on one hand for a game. I'm used to coaching teams that like to share the ball and if they don't they come over and sit by me. Pretty simple.

Quote
The only way to score on this team is to create your own shot. It's the biggest ego who is going to shoot it. Might as well steal it from your own teammate and take it to the hole.

Quote
There were numerous times where Dean would post up and the guard would look at him and pass away or he would screen and pop out only to be ignored. I would even comment about it to the wife and then she would watch and pick up on it. It's like his team mates are ignoring him?

Quote
The 5 big egos on KU's team are pretty well defined and if you stray from the plan you can grab a seat on the bench. If you don't pass the ball on that team you might as well start trudging to the bench.

We had a fun little name for this last year and I can't remember exactly what it was.  Something about black to white to black I think.
