KU vs. Louisville
-
Going to answer my own question here
I think Christian Reeves will be too slow to handle Flory's quick pivots in the lane. Thinking he'll guard the 6'10" guy from Spain.
So, if Keanu Dawes starts, then he will probably get the assignment, but I think Flory will be able to get by/around Dawes pretty easily.
If Trey White starts (preferred), then I think he will start out guarding Flory.
I think they'll put Tyran Stokes on 6'6" Karter Knox.
So, my guess is it'll be either Trey White or Keanu Dawes, whoever gets the start.
*If TKR sees the floor tonight, then he should definitely get some time guarding Flory.Double teaming on the catch might be how they handle it if Flory starts to go off down low.
-
Hard to say without knowing who starts and plays. But, all of the above will likely have a shot at guarding Flory.
I'm guessing he'll find his way to a few slams over our non traditional centers like Dawes and White.
But hoping our traditional bigs will slam a few over him!
-
TKR will not play tonight
-
Starting a game tonight we will go small ball
-
A lot disappointed in the FU Flory chants, this ain’t KSU have a little class
-
Hawks cannot hit an outside shot...
-
Stokes seems to be a foul merchant more than anything else
-
@kjayhawks2.0 But he needs to make the FTs...
-
I tell you this team will be in big trouble if Council, White and TKR can’t play.
-
Council and White have over half our points. Outside shooting is awful. Inexplicably defense not very good either. Given size and mobility, you would think we could really defend the perimeter, but not the case tonight.
-
Ya pretty ugly showing tonight I really don’t like our exhibition games this year too many good teams. Want to build up the comp.
-
So much for our depth. Don't have stats available, but I think that White, Council and Stokes have more than 60 of our 81 points.
-
Stokes can pass.
-
Once again the number 1 recruit we sign looks like the 5 or 6th best freshman. Case needs to go if he’s still recruiting. Strokes doesn’t look like an NBA player at all.
-
I have very little faith moving forward that this team can win the conference. Same defects as the last 3 years, no consistent shooters or rebounding. I’m calling a first weekend exit yet again.
-
Louisville is loaded. I liked what I saw from Dawes and Blyden as experienced and hard nosed. Stokes was fine we will take it if teams want him to shoot 15 free throws a game and there will be a bunch of and ones coming. White and Council I hope they both can stay. I don't want to stifle Kinney though Self might. Mbiya was active and did okay I thought. Just an exhibition game but I don't like losing anywhere especially in Allen and Duke coming in will throw a bunch of talent at us. We got out shot by them with the 18 year old 7'2" frosh killed us outside and controlled the paint.
-
@Tallturd1 I don’t think it’s any reason to panic but instill stand be hind my post this team is going to mirror the last couple prob finish 4-7 in the conference and be gone after the first weekend. Ya that 7’2 guys better than any freshman we have had in a long time. Minimum Josh Jackson maybe Embiid or Wigs.
-
Well I hope they can get TKR for sure eligible. The other bigs are not Natty quality.
This rotation is getting trimmed to 7 real guys come conference play in true Self form. That was all I needed to see.
Council, Kinney, Stokes, White, TKR, Dawes, and pick a guy. This team is better playing small ball imo so I hope a guard but I could see Mbiya. Obviously you’ll have some games where other guys play but they aren’t playing 9-10 guys routinely.
I do think they can be a contender once they tighten up the D. And they will tighten up the D. Too long and athletic to not become a good defensive team
