      My guess is improvement but a season that is still a failure by KU standards. 2nd place in the conference and a sweet 16 exit

        After the exhibition games here is the rotation I think we should roll with:

        Melvin, Stokes, White, TKR, and Reeves as starters.
        Kinney, Blyden, and Dawes off the bench.

        I think Reeves needs to start for us. What he gives us with his size and athleticism is so valuable.

          We are definitely in need of a player like Reeves in this day and age.

                  If we try to spin this positive, we can say this should give Kinney and Blyden more opportunity to grow and develop and then we do at least already kind of know what we are getting from Melvin whenever he comes back.

                    Well, feeling a lot worse about a lot of the big non-con games with no Mel.

                    @benshawks08 I think TK has frankly been terrible. Trial by fire upcoming I suppose.

                      @BShark TK hasn't been great, but I feel like you can see the flashes, so maybe more playing time and pressure to produce can turn those moments into a consistent play style. He seems quick with the ball, fearless, creative, and competitive. I feel like there's a real player in there.

                        We should still have enough guard bodies to send waves of pressure defensively and while no one is as much of a pace pusher as Melvin, they've at least all seen him do it and have something to aspire to.

                              I really like the team, just not TK. He's as bad as any guard I can remember here with the caveat that it has been two real games.

                                I see glimmers of hope with TK. He's bigger and stronger than i thought he was going to be. Both him and Stokes seem to have the same pedigree ... they both dribble into double coverage without intent sometimes.

                                But yea, i think TK is a multi year player before we see anything brilliant.

                                  He forces a lot of bad passes into the paint. I think he'll improve.
