Is Lu underrated by K-State fans or overrated by commentators and non-KSU fans?   :dunno:

Lou is fine when he doesn't think he's an offensive weapon.

Yeah.  I think his defense is underrated by K-State fans and his offense is overrated by others.

His offense is only overrated by himself. Which is his problem.

His defense isn't very good, he's just big and doesn't usually let people shoot over him, he does get beat every time they try to go around him.

JHR can do those things, and also rebound. Is anyone going to see the post position next year besides JHR and Sammy?

not really, he is an good post defender, and excellent in help defense.  his offense is atrocious.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Lou did some really dumb things as well tonight.

yeah.

I suppose it annoys me greatly when bigs try to take people off the dribble and get ripped.  We seemed to do that quite a bit tonight, usually leading to some OU break/basket.  Much more annoying than any Denis forced attempt from 3.  IMHO.

Whether on the road in the 12, or at the Y, posts should know their place.

Super excited about JHR, btw. Love the dude. Don't expect him to be a 20/10 dude or anything ridiculous like that. Just think he's gonna be a great 3/4 year part of the program.

Cautiously optimistic on JHR, hoping for Cato/Friend type upside as his ceiling.

That's what I mean. That would be a great dude to have around for the next few years.

he's not that type of athlete.  he's somewhat smooth, but not at all explosive.

I could see JHR developing into a Brendan Haywood type of player.  He looks like he's added some good weight since the beginning of the season as well.

I don't see the Haywood comparo.  He reminds me of a young Kareem although a lot better than Kareem.

And has some defensive lapses.  

um, aren't we comparing him to jhr?


not sure if he'll get more minutes next year with an older jhr and asprilla.  it prolly won't be as annoying if he doesn't then though.

At the Wichita Pak I made the argument that JHR should have his minutes cut next year, I would love for him to even be redshirted.  Not that I think he sucks, I don't, but he should be the fifth option at the 4/5.  Kelly, Judge, and Samuels should all progress faster than JHR, and if Asprilla lives up to even half the hype, I just don't see available minutes for Jordan.  If he gets many minutes it will be at the expense of a better player.  He's taking Lou's minutes this year.
